Isoetes

"I needed a quillwort for my botany students and was excited to see that you offered Isoetes. When I ordered from another vendor, I received a plant with spreading rhizomes. It was obviously not Isoetes. Being hopeful that you would actually send me Isoetes (which does not form runners, but has a corm), I received a non-Isoetes from you as well. I believe you sent some sort of spreading flowering plant. Do you ever offer quillworts? If so, I'd still be interested in purchasing specimens from you, but want to guarantee that I actually receive a quillwort and not a grass. I was disappointed, but will say that the plants arrived quickly and they were healthy."

Q&A

Can I trim these down at the tip?: Yes, you would cut it down like normal grass, new blades should shoot up soon after that :)
