Saururus Cernuus – Lizard’s Tail (Bare Root)

Heart-shaped leaves and fragrant white flowers. The lizard’s tail is a low-maintenance species that can add some late summer color to a shaded garden. When space allows, Lizards Tail is excellent for planting on the banks and shoreline of earth-bottom ponds where it will grow up and out of the water. Its also suited for shallow water, where its tenacious root system will stabilize the soil and limit erosion. In a lined pond it should be contained in a sturdy, but large pot.
