BAMBUSA MULTIPLEX STRIPESTEM FERNLEAF

Terrific Australian info & photo

 

4' height, Sun, 15 degrees F Minimum, Clumper.

        Tiny leaves grow densely on thin closely grouped canes with delicate pink, yellow & green stripes.  Looks a little like a dwarf, delicate Alphonse Karr.

        Decorative & slow-growing,  not easy to grow and not a good plant for commercial landscape use.
