| Posted by ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Mar 2, 2018 8:08 PM The American Lizard's-Tail grows wild in swamps and into shallow water from southwest Quebec through southern Ontario into Minnesota to Kansas into Texas to southern Florida. It can be bought from some aquatic plant nurseries for a nice bog or water garden. [ Reply to this comment | |
