Equisetum hyemale is a primitive, non-flowering, evergreen perennial featuring a striking, architectural, bamboo-like appearance with stems that are unbranched, jointed, and deep green with ash-gray sheaths and black-ringing bands. It is typically 3 to 6 feet tall with a narrow, vertical, rigid, and reed-like spreading habit. Thrives in intermountain and coastal conditions. Uses include privacy screen/hedge, water feature, container, pond and stream erosion control, rain garden and bioswale. High water use (thrives in swamps, bogs, and constantly moist or saturated soils), though it can survive drought if established in shade. Adapts well to various soil types, including sandy, clay, mucky, and rocky soils. Tolerant of seasonal flooding. Grows in full sun to full shade. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to -40°F.
