Description

Equisetum hyemale, also known as Horsetail Rush, is an upright, rhizomatous, flowerless plant with jointed, finely ribbed, green stems with black fringes of scale-like leaves at each joint. This ancient species is native to Eurasia and North America. The tall, finely ribbed, pencil straight stems of Equisetum hyemale are fantastic in containers

Equisetum hyemale prefers full sun to part shade and damp to wet soils, or even shallow water. It will also grow in heavy shade. Horsetail Rush is very invasive, so grow it only in containers to prevent rampant spread. This is a great architectural plant if well controlled.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
