A unique ground cover for any exposure

NAME: Kuma bamboo grass (Sasa veitchii)
Zone: 6 to 9
Size:Up to 3 feet tall, spreading indefinitely
Condition: Full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained soid
Peak Time: Late summer through winter

For most of the growing season, kuma bamboo grass has plain green leaves.
But as the days turn cooler, the leaf edges begin to dry and turn creamy white.
At its peak, this plant look extravagantly variegated. The"variegated" leaves
should be cut back in spring to make way for new, all green leaves.
