Lizard Tail

[Kaniff]

Does anyone know if I can plant lizard tail 18-24" below the surface? Can I just treat this plant similar to bull rush?
cheers,
Ken

I have some in by bog and as a marginal. Some is below the surface, but not that deep — so don’t know. Have you looked it up (Google)?

Mine is about 6 or 8 inches deep in the pond. I don't think it would like to be much deeper than that, though.

That’s pretty deep. But why not try it? If you can’t put it on a shallow water ledge or elevate it someway perhaps try to find a mature plant 3 or 4 feet tall that way about 1/2 of the plant will grow submerged. It might work out well. In nature, they are used to high and low water conditions and survive as long as they aren’t completely submerged for extended times.

I had some planted in my bog...probably 2" below the waterline....they did not come back. Had an unusually brutal winter in Virginia this past year. Probably had 3 inches of ice on the pond. So yeah, I wish I had planted them deeper.

Mine are in my bog, freezes solid, in the pond in a pot, around 4 inches below water surface, they come back every year. I do a lot of yanking and tossing.
