Lizard's Tail Adds Beautiful Color and Texture to Your Water Garden

Saururus Cernuus prefers to be grown in wet soil conditions, consistently moist but not soggy. The plant can tolerate a vast range of soil types and is not picky about soil quality.

These flowers have a subtle, sweet fragrance that some gardeners describe as refreshing, light, sassafras fragrance.
