Pleioblastus pygmaeus (Dwarf Bamboo) - A quick-growing, running small bamboo to a maximum height of 1 1/2 feet. The canes are thin and densely clothed with tiny 1 inch long leaves that are hairy on the underside. Plant in full sun (along coast) to light shade. Can handle some drought, but looks better with moderate watering. Hardy to 10° F. Invasive if not controlled, it is a good plant to hold slopes against erosion. Can periodically be mowed to rejuvenate the growth and appearance.
The information displayed on this page is based on research conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations that we have made of it growing in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how it has performed in our crops out in the nursery field. We will incorporate comments that we receive from others as well, and welcome hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they have knowledge of cultural information we do not mention that would aid others in growing Pleioblastus pygmaeus.
