Description
Lizard's Tail Grass, or Saururus cernuus, is an Aquatic Perennial Plant
This plant is typically 1-2 feet tall but can reach a height of 4 feet. This plant enjoys the sun but will bloom in full to partial shade. The medium-sized leaves are heart or arrow-shaped. The leaves will be 1 1/2 inches wide, and 3-4 inches long. Lizards Tail bloom from June to September. This plant produces a bottle brush spike of white flowers.
Lizard's Tail is Native to the Marshes and Wetlands of Florida
These flowers later form seed pods, once they reach maturity, making them resemble a lizard's tail which is where the flower gets its name. These seed pods are wildlife food in its native habitat, though the plant itself is not known to be a food item. This plant grows into small colonies from underground runners, so it may occasionally need to be divided, which can be done in spring. While this plant can be put into the ground, as long as it is a very wet area, it is common to find it immersed in a container in home ponds. When planted in a pot for a pond, it can be planted in 6 inches of water.
