Japanese Bamboo
Sasa veitchii
A vigorous, spreading bamboo with broad, glossy, dark green leaves that wither at the margins during the autumn. This produces a beautiful, pale bronze variegation effect that has the appearance of parchment and contrasts beautifully with the shiny centre of the leaves. It develops a strong, spreading root system making it useful for stabilising banks and slopes or growing as a medium-height groundcover plant. The purple-green canes give it a tropical appearance which is enhanced when it receives some afternoon shade. If you grow Sasa Veitchii as a groundcover plant we’d recommend cutting it back to a few inches above the ground in late winter or early spring.
