Sasaella masamuneana 'Albostriata' is a super hardy large leaved ground cover bamboo that can be planted in sun or shade. It is normally best if pruned back hard each spring to promote masses of lush creamy yellow and green striped leaves. It is a very striking bamboo which looks great in a container. Ideal for the smaller garden because of its size but it may wander a little if allowed to. We recommend bamboo root barrier.
