Grow a dinosaur in your backyard water garden. Ok, it’s not a real dinosaur, but horsetail rush is an ancient plant—gigantic fossilized horsetail plants have been found in the United States that date back to the Carboniferous period.
Modern horsetail plants may be small compared to their ancestors, but they make a huge statement when planted along the edge of ponds, streams and boggy areas. 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.
