Semiarundinaria yashadake 'Kimmei'

A fast growing, beautiful bamboo.  Kimmei has large leaves, which have an occasional white stripe, and the translucent golden culms have a green stripe.  The canes blush red in the fall when the temperatures cool, making it a centerpiece when most other plants have lost their luster.  This bamboo makes a wonderful potted accent plant, or, if groomed and thinned, a beautiful specimen grove.  Produces a multitude of shoots each year, with a vigorous growth habit, so if planted in the ground, it must be given room to roam, or controlled in some manner.
