  A vigorous medium-sized bamboo with green canes and mid-green leaves. This robust bamboo is best used as groundcover and for clipping into low moulds. It should only be introduced if you are prepared to keep it under control, since it can be extremely invasive and hard to eradicate once established.
  
  
• Garden care: Plant in a large container or surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier that restricts the plant's spread.
