Horsetail will do fine when planted a few inches below the water line, but this plant really prefers moist to dry soil, making it an excellent choice for marshy areas and pond edges.
Because horsetail is native to North America, it will do well in any water garden, and will safely over-winter through Zone 4. As with many natives, horsetail will spread over the years—if you’d like to contain this growth simply pot your plant in a plastic container.
