Bamboo Ground Covers are perfect for filling banks, borders, rock walls, raised garden beds, pots and troughs. THey are the ideal plant for filling roundabouts and other public areas where a short, tough, drought tolerant, easy to grow plant is needed. These are a spreading variety of bamboo, very similar to lawns and can be contained with a simple root barrier if desired. Heavy pruning in winter is recommended to promote lush, fresh growth in spring.

​

Pygmy Green is the smallest growing ground cover bamboo. It is very attractive with tiny dark green leaves and will give you very dense, fluffy foliage up to 5-10cm in height.
