Comments:
This is bamboo stays relatively low and makes an excellent ground cover planting. Noted for its white and green variegated foliage. Barriers may need to be installed to control spread, or planted in islands where spread can be controlled. Prune or cut back growth periodically to encourage fresh, new foliage growth. Grows well in partial shade.
