Description

A great horsetail, a perennial plant with running rootstocks forming strong erect stems, very graphic, these are stiffer and sturdier than in other species, capable of reaching up to 1.50m (5ft) in height.

We cultivate this majestic species in different areas of the garden. Either in pots so that it does not spread, or contained by anti-rhizome barriers along the stream banks so that it doesn't overflow out of its area.
