Description
Horsetail – Field Horsetail or Tall Scouring Rush
This is a native North American horsetail, usually found a bit north of here – so very hardy. It is a wonderful medicinal and biodynamic plant. And a great source of silica. (E. hymale is also used medicinally and is native to this area.)
Enjoys wet field soil. Full sun or Light Shade. Deer resistant. Will spread aggressively if it is happy.
Horsetail is an ancient plant – like ferns, it reproduces by spores rather than seeds.
All of our plants and seedlings are grown organically and are timed size-wise and transplanted for optional growth and production.
