My biggest mistake is allowing the water celery to jump from the pond

surrounding the pond. It has displaced all the herbs and perennials I
had
planted around the ponds covering the statues and ornaments.

At least my WC is out-competing the common horsetail that was infesting
the are I have it in.....

My horsetail wouldn't grow in water. Now that it's planted in the garden
with the hostas it's growing like crazy. It's been real dry here for weeks
now.

Is there a landlubber type of horsetail? 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 don't know. It was sold as a pond plant. I had it for years but it
barely survived in the pond.

$$ 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.
