Description

A spreading dwarf bamboo native to Japan, Sasa veitchii has dark green leaves which gradually wither and turn an attractive creamy-straw colour around the leaf edge. This gives the leaves a wonderful mottled appearance and is particularly eye-catching in winter. Superb as a ground cover plant!
