Lizard tail pond plant ( 5 plants)

Characteristics:

• Foliage: Heart-shaped, deep green leaves grow densely, giving a rich, full appearance along pond edges and in wetland areas.
• Flowers: Produces white, drooping, tail-like flower spikes that appear in late spring to early summer. The flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
• Growth Habit: Typically grows 2-4 feet tall, spreading through rhizomes and forming clumps. This plant can spread easily in wet conditions, creating dense colonies if not managed.
• Sun Requirements: Prefers partial to full sun but can tolerate a range of light conditions. Partial shade is beneficial in hotter climates to prevent wilting.
• Soil and Water Needs: Thrives in shallow water up to 6 inches deep or in consistently moist, boggy soil, making it ideal for pond edges, rain gardens, and other wet environments.

Uses:

• Pond and Water Garden Edging: Ideal for planting along pond margins, where it thrives in shallow water and provides vertical interest.
• Wetland and Bog Gardens: Perfect for rain gardens or low-lying areas with consistent moisture, as it helps with erosion control and enhances biodiversity.
• Wildlife Habitat: Attracts pollinators with its flowers and provides shelter for small aquatic animals, making it a beneficial addition to naturalized landscapes.

Lizard’s Tail is a hardy, low-maintenance plant that’s ideal for adding lush greenery and wildlife support to water features and damp areas. While easy to grow, it can spread rapidly, so periodic thinning is recommended to keep it contained.
