Description
The Sasa tsuboiana, semi-evergreen dwarf bamboo, is dense and bushy with numerous branches and displays magnificent decorative foliage, with large dark green glossy leaves. Low-maintenance and perfectly hardy, it thrives in indirect sun as well as dense shade, in any moist, well-drained soil. A must-have for small zen, Japanese or contemporary gardens !
The Sasa tsuboiana is a type of dwarf bamboo that is dense and compact, with upward branches that are regular in shape. It is perfect for temperate climates and originates from Japan. Belonging to the grass family known as Poaceae, this small bamboo has pale green culms or canes slightly tinged with purple. The diameter of the culms is 5 to 8 mm (0.2 - 0.3 in), and the height can reach anywhere from 1 to 2 m (3 ft 4 in - 6 ft 7 in). It grows rapidly, forming a beautiful, rounded, and bushy clump that is both erect and spreading. The semi-evergreen foliage consists of large glossy and dark green leaves measuring 15 to 28 cm (5.9 - 11 in) in length and 3 to 6 cm (1.2 - 2.4 in) in width. The leaf margins tend to dry out with the first frosts, giving the appearance of a cream margin, which gives this small bamboo a decorative variegated character. During the winter, the bamboo becomes bare, but from early spring, new leaves appear that will reform its splendid lush foliage.
Sasa tsuboiana is a highly adaptable and easy-to-grow bamboo that is robust, hardy, and undemanding. It forms a dense, branching, and rounded mass that is perfect for zen, exotic, or contemporary gardens. However, it should not be planted in direct sunlight, dry soils, or windy areas.
This versatile bamboo can be used as a hedge by planting it at a distance of 70 to 80 cm (27.6 - 31.5 in), or as a specimen by pruning it repeatedly into a flattened ball. It tolerates shade well and can be used as ground cover under trees like caramel tree and Japanese maple in woodland settings.
In a shrub bed, Sasa tsuboiana pairs well with sacred bamboo, spindle tree, or Loropetalum. It can also be grown in a rockery, on a slope, or as a solitary clump. This dwarf bamboo is perfect for large pots or planters on a terrace or balcony. It can be combined with black bamboo and different Fargesia varieties with different stems and foliage, creating a tropical scene with an exotic appearance.
If you want to give your small garden a Japanese character, Sasa tsuboiana is the perfect bamboo for the job.

Planting and care
The Sasa tsuboiana is an easy-to-grow bamboo plant that needs little attention. It can be planted in late summer, autumn, or spring. Although it does not spread too much, it's best to use a rhizome barrier to control its growth. This plant can withstand low temperatures as low as -22°C (-7.6°F). It grows well in partial or deep shade and light sun, but it doesn't like windy conditions. It adapts to most soils but prefers rich, moist and well-drained soil that's slightly acidic. It tolerates drought well when grown in the ground. If you grow it in a container, use well-draining potting soil and fertilise twice a year to avoid leaf yellowing. You can propagate the plant by cutting its rhizomes or dividing its clumps. You can prune it every spring to promote new foliage growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
