|| GARDEN | Plants: Equisetum

HIGHLIGHTING | plant:  

EQUISETUM
Common Name: Dutch or scouring rush, horsetail rush, snake grass 
Genus: Equisetum
Species: hyemale
Skill Level: Beginner
Exposure: Full sun, Partial shade
Hardiness: Hardy (UK)

Soil type: Boggy
Height: 120cm Spread: 20cm








A fast-growing horsetail that has unbranched stems with rough black ribs which slightly constrict the stem. As a clump forming evergreen it provides useful winter interest and its slightly pre-historic/tropical look makes a stylish architectural statement in the garden.  It has a vigorous growing habit and is best with a constrained root. Grow in pots/planters above ground or within several sizes of containers below ground to restrict the rhizomes.
