Pleioblastus viridistriatus | Dwarf Green Stripe Bamboo

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Pleioblastus viridistriatus forms dense, low thickets of slender canes lined with narrow leaves patterned in soft green and creamy yellow striping that remains present through the seasons. The finely textured foliage creates a bright groundcover effect and gentle movement in shaded borders, woodland edges, and container plantings, maintaining consistent color even outside the main growing period. Flowering is infrequent and not a primary ornamental feature, with visual interest centered on the variegated leaves.

Originating from Japanese bamboo lineage and maintained in cultivation for foliage pattern and spreading habit, it reflects traditional garden use in East Asia. Persistent evergreen growth provides year-round texture and coverage in sheltered landscapes.
