Dwarf Golden Leaf Bamboo – Pleioblastus Viridistriatus ‘Chrysophyllus’ – 2 Gallon Pot

The stunning, vibrant color and a low spreading habit make the Dwarf Golden leaf Bamboo a fine choice to light up the shade garden and other dark areas in the landscape. The foliage is an electric chartreuse color (lime green/golden yellow) on dense plants that grow naturally to 4 to 3 feet tall and spread to form a dense colony that prevents weeds. If plants are mowed to the ground in later winter they might reach only 18 to 24 inches in height. An excellent under-story plant in larger bamboo groves or to surround a larger clumping bamboo. This dwarf bamboo is great for the landscape and as a solo or accent in pots, planters and other containers. dwarf Golden Leaf Bamboo prefers part shade to shade and is hardy to 12°F.
