Green stripe bamboo plant (Pleioblastus viridistriatus) is known for its large, showy, and variegated leaves. Striped with contrasting bright green and bright yellow on each of the leaves, this bamboo is perfect as an ornamental grass that can be used for borders almost anywhere in your garden. We love the way the large leaf size contrasts with the tiny stem of which they grow, giving it the true bamboo look, very unique in any garden. Easy to grow, hardy, and unique!
Gain a hardiness zone with winter cover. Loves Nettle Tea as a fertilizer.
