Equisetum japonicum 18 cm aquatic basket
Equisetum japonicum, commonly known as Japanese horsetail or scouring rush, is a striking, upright perennial grown for its bold, architectural presence and unique, jointed green stems. It brings a modern, structural element to garden designs, particularly around water features or in contemporary planting schemes. This vigorous, non-flowering plant is a popular choice for marginal or boggy areas and can also be grown in containers to manage its spreading nature. With year-round interest and low maintenance needs, it offers excellent texture and contrast in any setting.
