Equisetum hyemale
Horsetail
Horsetail offers vigorously spreading clumps of cylindrical, gray-green to bright green stems with cream-colored bands accented by black fringe. Stems turn bronze in winter; flowers are cone-like spikes at the stem tips. Adapts to full sun or part shade but thrives in evenly moist soil to standing water (up to four inches).
