Fast Growth Rate

Each bunch will contain at least 3 roots, may be trimmed for shipping purposes
Deep green, jointed stems have an interesting Tropical look. The rush-like slender stems appear without leaves or flowers. Best used in containers, troughs or in contained ponds. Evergreen in warm climates. They can become invasive, so best if contained in some fashion.

Do you happen to have the irises that grow in water too?

Jul 28th, 2015 at 8:03:34 AM PDT by

No, and these don't grow in any water, I have them in a pot on the porch in the hot sun and they have done well for over 4 years

Since your description stated in contained ponds I assumed they could be grown in my koi pond.

Check on line and see, I don't have ponds but they might be able to be used in ponds, the gentleman I brought mine from didn't have ponds either, but he did say he got them from a lady that had a lake, so they might do good, I just don't know, ask google and see

More info for
(twosquaw).
Native to wetlands in a number of regions around the world, including the United States, Equisetum hyemale is categorized as a “fern ally” because, like a fern, it is non-flowering and reproduces by spores. As the common name indicates, this plant was once used to scour pots and pewter, due to its high silica content. While the strong verticality and unusual appearance of the evergreen stems provide year-round interest, Souring Rush has a tendency to spread, so it is best to use soil barriers or plant in a large pot or tub. Deer do not find this plant attractive. zon
