{"product_id":"saururus-cernuus-lizard-s-tail-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Saururus cernuus (Lizard's Tail) Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis marginal pond plant suits pond keepers wanting scent and height along a shallow shelf without heavy upkeep. It helps bring fragrant flower spikes and green, lance-shaped foliage to the pond edge through the summer months. You get a single potted plant in 1 litre or 3 litre size, or three smaller plants supplied together as a 9cm pot pack. The fragrant flowers are what set it apart from plainer foliage-only marginals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaururus cernuus, commonly known as Lizard's tail, is a marginal pond plant grown for its fragrant flower spikes rather than foliage alone, a feature that sets it apart from plainer pond-edge planting. It suits pond keepers who want scent and height along a shallow shelf, and it provides that detail without demanding a large planting area or heavy upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen, lance-shaped leaves form the backbone of the plant, with slender nodding spikes of tiny fragrant flowers held above them through the summer months. The scent is what makes it stand out among marginals chosen mainly for leaf shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt copes with a range of light conditions around the pond edge, whether the spot gets strong sun or dappled shade. Growth stays moderate, so it keeps its shape on the shelf without needing constant cutting back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get a single plant in a 1 litre or 3 litre mesh basket, or three smaller plants supplied together as a 9cm pot pack, depending on which option you choose. Each size suits a slightly different planting approach, covered in the sizing guidance below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle ongoing care is needed. Once the foliage dies back in autumn, a trim at the waterline keeps the display tidy for the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40-60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJun to Aug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanting depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-20 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 litre: one plant in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket; 3 litre: one plant in a 3 litre mesh aquatic basket; 9cm pot, pack of 3: three plants each in a 9cm pot.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLittle maintenance is required.
