Discover the wonders of Saururus cernuus, commonly known as Lizard's Tail - an ornamental and medicinal wetland plant native to eastern North America. This herbaceous perennial delights with its summer bloom of small white flowers, culminating in a finger-like inflorescence that lends the plant its intriguing name. Renowned for its graceful, fragrant, nodding 6-inch flower spikes, Lizard's Tail can be a showstopper during its flowering season from June to early August. Its thick, fragrant, heart-shaped leaves with a subtle sassafras aroma can transport any plant lover to an enchanted, wild realm. When crushed, these leaves create a delightful citrus scent, adding to the plant's enduring charm. Lizard's Tail creates a vibrant habitat, attracting beavers and native bees, while forming a substantial feast for turtles. It grows in wet areas or shallow water, creating an ideal addition for wetland gardens or as ground cover for moist-soil areas. Not only does this plant add unmatched aesthetic appeal, but it also boasts medicinal uses. Native American tribes have traditionally used Lizard's Tail for its anti-inflammatory properties, treating conditions ranging from body aches to fevers.
