Equisetum Hyemale'Horsetail Fern' 'Scouring Rush'- The Horsetails belong to a class all their own, the Equisetaceae, that has no direct affinity with any other group of plants.

They are nearest allied to the Ferns. They are fern-like in function but not fern-like in shape.The class includes only a single genus, Equisetum, the name derived from the Latin words equus (a horse) and seta (a bristle), from the peculiar bristly appearance of the jointed stems of the plants, which have also earned them their popular names of Horsetail, Bottle-brush,Paddock-pipes, and Scouring Rush.

An exotic looking plant that is easy to grow, attracts attention and is great for containers,planters, beds, and is a complement to any water feature. Has a very distinctive jointed look. Prefers shade in the afternoon. Grows well injust about any kind of soil,even grows in shallow water. Forms upright clumps of cylindrical, leafless green stems with brown stripe at each joint giving it a bamboo like appearance. Stems are tipped with interesting brown cones. Leaves are reduced to very small node-scales.

Prune out old stems that are dry and brown.
