6 Pack -Horsetail Plant
The horsetail plant, also known as the standard type, is an herbaceous perennial relative of ferns. It consists of two different types of stems: non-reproductive and photosynthetic and reproductive and non-photosynthetic. It derives from a giant, tree-like perennial that grew approximately 400 million years ago in many parts of the world.
Characteristics of the Horsetail Plant
The size of it can vary quite a bit. This fern-like perennial can grow from anywhere between eight inches and five feet, although "giant" types can reach as high as eight feet. They are distinguishable by their hollow stems, which look similar to asparagus. As it dries, tiny silica crystals develop along the stems and branches, creating the appearance of feathery tails. As the name suggests, many people find this to look similar to the beautiful tail of a horse. They are typically a bright green color and are usually found growing in dense clusters, which can often look like patches of tall grass or thin bamboo shoots.
Common Uses Of This Horsetail Plant
The Horsetail Plant is a relatively versatile species that can have several uses. For one, these can add a lovely aesthetic to a garden, improve the atmosphere of a courtyard, or line the edges of a pathway. If you want to increase the privacy and seclusion of an outdoor space, planting clusters of them can be an excellent option. Due to their height and tendency to grow in thick clusters, they can add a pleasing border along the fence of your garden. Alternatively, smaller groups can be planted as simple decorative elements to add variety and life to a sparse outdoor area.
