 | Sasa palmata nebulosa
A very tropical looking bamboo, this plant carries huge leaves at the end of long thin culms and branches. Really very foreign-looking. The form name Nebulosa refers to the cloudy or nebulous markings on the culm. Introduced in 1889 in Britain, this bamboo is a native of Japan where it is highly prized for its distinctive markings and wonderful foliage. You must give this bamboo lots of room and it can be a splendid sight in your garden if you have space to let it go. A wonderful plant.

 | Sasa veitchii
An aggressive dwarf Sasa with an attractive marginal withering on the leaves. New growth in spring brings a crop of fresh green leaves which will also be marked by the coming of the frosts.The culms are purple-green. As a medium height ground cover, veitchii is a valuable landscaping plant, whose pseudo-variegation is a winter bonus. Useful for stabilizing banks.
