Sasa pumila
bamboo
Description
Sasa pumila is a low-growing bamboo species, appreciated for its ground-covering habit and attractive foliage. It features small, lance-shaped leaves and spreads through rhizomes, forming dense mats of greenery. This bamboo is well-suited to shaded or partially shaded locations. It grows best in moist, well-draining soil. It is often used as a ground cover or in areas where a low-maintenance, shade-tolerant plant is desired. Controlling its spread might be needed to prevent it from overrunning the garden. Regular watering is beneficial, particularly during dry periods.
