Comments: Shibatea Chinensis or Chinese Dwarf Shibatea or Zig-zag
Bamboo is an attractive ornamental plant. This miniature bamboo
plant is slow to spread and it makes a lovely groundcover or a hedge.
I love its lovely bright green wrinkled foliage which really stands out
when grown with a darker foliage plants. Shibatea Chinensis is
easy to grow and is low maintenance.
