Shiroshima Bamboo

This bamboo, with its large leaves, is thought to be a natural hybrid.  The leaves are stunningly variegated (with pigmented and non-pigmented portions). Grow it in a sunny location and some leaves will display shades of purple in the variegation. It usually grows only to 10 feet tall.  This is one of the few bamboos that can grow fairly well indoors! Though not considered particularly vigorous, we always recommend planting bamboo in containers if worried about plants running.
