The Barred horsetail is a striking and unusual subject for shallow water planting. Attractive throughout the year, the evergreen stems are valued for providing winter interest. Plant in a medium or large container using aquatic soil covered with pea gravel.

An excellent plant for contrasting with flowering subjects.

Equisetum reproduces by spores that are grown on cones at the top of the stems.

This plant comes to you in a 1 litre pond pot and is ready to be put straight into your pond or bog garden.
