Pygmy bamboo is one of the smallest bamboos, and its leaves are also very small. It is one of the best of the dwarf bamboos for use as a bonsai. This variety has minute hairs, noticeable only upon very close inspection, on the leaf sheaths and also on the leaves. Vigorous, spreading underground rhizomes produce upright woody stems with grassy-green culms. Great in Asian landscapes or as a large informal hedge. Growing inside a barrier or container is recommended. Commonly used as a groundcover in Japanese gardens, often clipped to a height of only a few inches.
