Description

Equisetum scirpoides, commonly known as dwarf horsetail or dwarf scouring rush is an unusual evergreen marginal plant. Its slender, dark green, unbranched stems are segmented with black-ringed joints and form dense, wiry clumps that often twist and coil. Equisetum scirpoides thrives in moist to wet soils and can even tolerate shallow standing water. Although less invasive than other horsetails, it is best suited to growing in contained ponds where its spread can be controlled. An intriguing plant that adds valuable winter interest to smaller ponds and tub gardens. Ultimate height: 20cm (8in). Ultimate spread: 50cm (20in).

How to Grow
Equisetum scirpoides is less invasive than other horsetails but is best grown in an aquatic basket in containerised ponds to restrict its spread. Grow Equisetum in boggy soil and the shallow margins of ponds with the crown planted to a depth of up to 3cm below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi-shade.

More Info
Equisetum scirpoides requires no maintenance or cutting back, simply thin out dead stems in spring.
