An airy, feathery look on low, dense clumps that creates a lovely texture in rock gardens. Perfect for a low border, groundcover, or for use as erosion control. Spreads rapidly with underground stems; provide barriers to control spread. Evergreen.

Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Contain with a root barrier or non-perforated pot with lip above soil level. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new spring growth. Prune only as needed to shape.

Most bamboos flower only once in their life span and do so simultaneously the world over.
