Arching culms topped by graceful weeping branches holding narrow leaves giving an overall lacy look to this rare ornamental bamboo. Useful for tall, dense screens or single accents where space allows. Evergreen. Full to partial sun. Fast-growing to 15 to 20 feet tall, clumping. Division. An exceptional fluffy plant that's ideal for modern architecture to contrast with its rigid geometry. Outstanding soft background for high profile plants, water features and art. Ideal screen or hedge, good in sideyards to block neighbors but not air. Valuable textural contrast for large leaf tropical plantings that lends a most unique exotic look.
