Description

Equisetum Scirpoides – Dwarf Horsetail (Bare Root)

Dwarf Horsetail is an aquatic marginal plant with erect to slightly twisting, hollow, segmented, black-banded green stems, insignificant, scale-like leaves and sharp-pointed, cone-like, pale brown fruiting heads at the tips of fertile stems.

Unlike its cousin, the giant horsetail, which grows 4-6 feet tall and can act as great cover, the Dwarf horsetail typically only grows up to be about1 ft tall and act as a wonderful accent plant. Cold hardy plant, in Zones 4-9. Great as a companion to a Bonsai plant!

Plant in medium containers or floating pond container using loam soil and place in full sun to part shade around the margins of your pond! Dwarf horsetail can tolerate water depths of up to 2 inches above their roots, but do best in moist soil.
