The article describes the native plant Equisetum hyemale or scouring rush with hollow jointed dark green stems, leafless in spring, used for stream banks, ponds, and water gardens. It spreads densely and should be contained or naturalized carefully, preferably grown in large containers or deep water in bog settings.
Jennifer Smith, former K State horticulture agent and Lawrence Parks horticulturist, notes scouring rush is a green winter interest plant that grows about three feet tall. A living fossil among Equisetum, it reproduces by spores, has silica ridges for cleaning, and has been used in Japan for wood polishing and by Native Americans for medicine. It is also associated with reed shaping and homeopathic use today.
