Horsetail Reed
Equisetum hyemale
Architectural bamboo-like reeds for wet spots and modern water features. Contains itself best in pots or lined beds — spreads aggressively in open soil.
Landscape use
Ponds, rain gardens, contemporary accents, and contained vertical screens.
Care
Constant moisture. Sun to part shade. Plant in containers sunk in ponds or use root barriers. Cut old stems in late winter.
