This is quite an unpredictable bamboo as it will not grow in the same way from 1 site to the next. However it is extremely beautiful, adding light to any dull area in the garden due to its bright variegated leaves.

This plant is chosen mainly for its leaves which are by far the nicest part of the plant. With its bold, bright variegated leaves, this is the ideal plant for displaying in a pot.
