6 Pack -Horsetail Plant
The horsetail plant, also known as the common type, is an herbaceous perennial and a close relative of ferns. It consists of two different types of stems: non-reproductive and photosynthetic, as well as reproductive and non-photosynthetic. They derive from giant, tree-like plants 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. These fern-like plants can grow from anywhere between eight inches and five feet, although there are also "giant" types that can reach as high as eight feet. They are distinguishable by their hollow stems, which look similar to asparagus. As it dries, small silica crystals develop along the stems and branches, creating the appearance of feathery tails. As the name of it 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 the Horsetail Plant
It 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're looking 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, it can add a pleasing border along the fence of your garden. Alternatively, smaller groups of them can be planted as simple decorative elements to add some variety and life to a sparse outdoor area.
The Horsetail Plant Is Simple Yet Beautiful
Although they may not be the most colorful or exotic-looking plants, they are unique and fascinating species that can offer quite a few benefits to any outdoor area. A cluster of them could be the perfect addition to the front of your home, a private courtyard, or your tranquil garden.
