Lizard’s Tail | Saururus cernuus
Lizard’s tail is an attractive native species with an erect growth form that reaches 1–2 feet in height.
Leaves are rich green and typically shaped like stretched hearts or arrowheads. They are sharply pointed with obvious palmate veins radiating out from where the stalk joins. Usually there are five primary veins that divide into smaller branches much like a tree. Leaves are typically 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.
The flower spike is a showy spire of many small, crowded, white flowers that resembles a bottle brush. It is usually 4–8 inches in length and extends higher than the leaves.
Lizard’s tail is primarily a shoreline or shallow water plant, although it can grow in strictly terrestrial areas. It spreads via underground runners and can expand quickly once established.
