Pleioblastus pygmaeus var. distichus (Dwarf Fernleaf Bamboo)
Dwarf Fernleaf Bamboo is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This is a high maintenance plant that will require regular care and upkeep and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season.
Dwarf Fernleaf Bamboo’s attractive small narrow leaves are green in colour on a plant with an upright spreading habit of growth. As an added bonus, the foliage turns a gorgeous lemon yellow in the fall.
Dwarf Fernleaf Bamboo will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more. As an evergreen perennial, this plant will typically keep its form and foliage year-round.
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This species is not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division.
