Sasa Veitchii | Veitchs Bamboo

A low, dense-growing bamboo with slender, upright canes and papery green leaves. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Hardiness: fully hardy This bamboo is unusual in that the leaves are a glossy green throughout the summer, but in the autumn they start to dry out at the margins to create a straw-coloured variegated appearance. Garden care: Plant in a large container or surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier that restricts the plant’s spread.
