Spreading Groundcover Bamboo

Colorful green and white striped leaves with spreading rhizome roots. Adds texture and color among woody plants: an alternative to traditional groundcovers. Perennial, with good cold hardiness. Cut foliage back in early spring to appreciate colorful new growth.

Fantastic grouped around evergreen shrubs. Spreading growth needs to be controlled. Native to Japan. Great in pots or as indoor houseplant.

USDA Zone 5-9, although not evergreen.
