    Hi There!

    Is snake grass edible? Is it a noxious weed or is it a Herb, do you know? Does it offer any health supporting benefits? In other words I have no idea what snake grass is :-? lol Do you have more information on it please as it's certainly an interesting looking plant? Thanks heaps?

    Hi Carrie!

    As a kid I called this snake grass; but the Herb companies appear to refer it as 'Horsetail' and/or 'Shaved Grass'. I believe it has some health properties to do with spinal conditions, however it would best to check out for yourself the sites with information about this plant, as follows.

    Regards
