Equisetum hyemale, I have grown it successfully in clay soil, it doesn't need pruning and it seems quite hardy. This information is from BBC website: Dutch or scouring rush Equisetum hyemale Common Name: Dutch or scouring rush Genus: Equisetum Species: hyemale Skill Level: Beginner Exposure: Full sun, Partial shade Hardiness: Hardy Soil type: Boggy Height: 120cm Spread: 20cm A fast-growing horsetail that has unbranched stems with rough black ribs which slightly constrict the stem. As a marginal plant in a garden setting needs confining to prevent unwanted spreading. Plant in an aquatic basket lined with Hessian to restrict growth. As the stems remain green throughout the winter provides useful winter interest, and its slightly pre-historic look makes it a curiosity for the pond.
