Matt takes us through the fun and patience required when ordering horsetail rush. Equisetum hyemale has been around for hundreds of millions of years, it was here with the dinosaurs and goes by many names. Horsetail Rush, Horsetail Reed, Scouring Rush, Puzzle Plant.
Though jointed and often confused - it is not a bamboo - but more of a fern as it divides easily by runners and spores. It can also be propagated easily by cuttings though it takes a good amount of time.
The two varieties we sell prefer moisture but can survive some bouts of dry weather and do grow outside the pond. Patience is required when you buy Horsetail rush, though considered hard to kill it will react negatively to transplanting and will quickly yellow, but it is not dead. It is slow to recover but all effort when moved is put at the root and rhizomes and recovery is happening, we assure you.
Eight to twelve weeks after transplanting new growth emerges and you have to wait a season to enjoy that architectural look that made you want to buy it in the first place. That can seem heartbreaking to see the plant yellow on arrival but there are many plants that do not like transplanting. That does not make them weak, just fussy. This is an incredibly strong plant and should be kept in containers as many consider it invasive. Plant it in wet soil outside the pond and it could grow there forever and spread fast after taking hold.
