Himalayan Weeping Bamboo

Himalayan Weeping (Drepanostachyum falcatum) is a very graceful, fine-leafed variety of clumping bamboo. Its long slender culms are unable to hold the weight of the profuse amounts of lush foliage and droop to create a beautiful weeping habit. It can be pruned and grows well indoors. Great for containers, this fast-growing bamboo is perfect for screening in a tight space.

Soil: Free-draining soils with organics turned over. Mulch with leaf litter (not tea tree). If soil is sand, mix in organic matter. If clay soils – mounding is recommended.
