Lizard Tongue

Lizard's Tail (Saururus cernuus) is a bog-native marginal plant with soft, heart-shaped leaves on upright stems, often used in paludariums, pond margins, and terrarium setups where it can grow partly emersed. Submersed it grows more slowly and stays low, offering a bright green heart-leaf texture. It's happiest with its roots wet and its crown near or above the waterline.
