Lizard's Tail
Saururus cernuus
Lizard's Tail is a native, wetland perennial with white spikes of flowers that appear in early summer. The seeds that follow provide a food source for waterfowl.
Lizard's Tail grows best in part sun or light shade, though it can tolerate full sun as long as it has adequate moisture. Spreading via rhizomes, it will form dense colonies in ideal conditions.
