Equisetum variegatum, also known as variegated horsetail or variegated scouring rush, is a vascular plant found in the Northern Hemisphere. It has a circumpolar distribution and can be found in northern Europe, Asia, and North America. This species has several ecotypes, with varying heights and growth patterns. Its stems are dark blue-green, rough to the touch, and may be unbranched or have branches growing from the base. Equisetum variegatum is commonly found in open, lime-rich areas that may flood in the winter, such as dune slacks, mountain flushes, and beside bodies of water.
