My horsetail wouldn't grow in water. Now that it's planted in the

with the hostas it's growing like crazy. It's been real dry here for

Is there a landlubber type of horsetail?

$$ I don't know. It was sold as a pond plant. I had it for years but it
barely survived in the pond.

I had it growing in a really dry
lawn, but would never grow in the pond. My neighbor has it in his pond
and
it looks identical.

$$ I didn't know there were different types. I assumed these horsetails
were all aquatic. I can't believe how mine is now thriving and spreading in
the dryish garden soil.
