A graceful garden specimen with delicate arching poles. Young culms (poles) are tinged with a white bloom that almost looks purple when first shooting.

Prefers dappled sunlight or semi-shade, but can grow in full sun if kept well watered. Makes an excellent screen. Very similar to the Himalayan Weeping and Purple Jade bamboos.
