Saururus Chinensis - MP137 Packs

Saururus chinensis, commonly known as Chinese Lizard’s Tail, is a unique and elegant perennial that thrives in moist and wetland environments. This distinctive plant features heart-shaped, deep green foliage that provides a lush, tropical appearance, making it an excellent choice for pond edges, bog gardens, and damp woodland areas. In summer, graceful, arching spikes of tiny white flowers emerge, resembling a lizard’s tail, and add a delicate, airy charm to the landscape.

Well-suited for consistently moist to waterlogged soil, Saururus chinensis flourishes in partial shade to full sun, where it can naturalize beautifully over time. Its attractive foliage remains vibrant throughout the season, while its lightly fragrant flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Hardy and low-maintenance, this perennial brings texture and movement to water gardens and shaded borders, making it a valuable addition to any damp, wildlife-friendly planting scheme.
