I want to grow the giant horsetail, equisetum telmateia, in a container (I wouldn't dream of planting it out!). I saw it growing in Brittany and I was impressed. Does anyone know where I can get some? I searched on line to no avail this morning. |

i'd be very wary about introducing horsetail to a garden at all! |

No No No you dont want that you should look at Restios or Cannomois grandis much more exotic and can be grown in tubs. |

I know it a pest but having seen the giant version growin in Brittany, I'm tempted. However, I'll look at your suggestions.
I've just had a look on line. Cannomois grandis looks ideal. Thanks for the tip. |
