Equisetum


Equisetum (Equisetum)

I love the tall slender stems on this. It does spread though so keep it in check.

I haven't seen one of these before. How do you keep them from 'walking'?

These are as old as the dinosaurs. To stop them spreading I just chop back the roots every now and then and pot up the extras. I took loads to a car boot and sold the lot. Could have sold more.

Reminds me of bamboo...makes a nice screening.
