A very beautiful plant which is nothing like a classic bamboo: it is a mass of long slender leaves which drape over multiple layers of themselves. Himalayan Weeping is best positioned in a cool position protected from full day sun. It is a small bamboo with narrow culms and a small footprint. It grows to 2.5m height in most circumstances and like most bamboo can be maintained to desired height and density.

 

Due to its relatively small stature, this is a great variety to grow in containers in a sheltered position.
