Description

One of if not the most eye-catching bamboos that light up shady areas of the landscape, Kuma-Zasa is a dwarf bamboo with dark green leaves through summer that then form bold, creamy white bands around the margins in fall with coloration persisting through winter. The colorful leaves are up to 10 inches long and about 2 inches wide on spreading plants that grow from 2 to 5 feet tall and up to 10 feet wide depending on pruning. Kuma Zasa will tolerate a lot of moisture in the ground more sun in the North than in the South, where it prefers afternoon shade or filtered sun.

Pruning Tips

For Taller Plants: A mowing or trimming to the ground in late winter, before new growth emerges, will result in taller plants.

For Lower Plants: An annual mowing or trimming after new growth has flushed will maintain lower plants.

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Bamboo variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Kuma Zasa Bamboo grows well in any average, medium moisture soil however will tolerate a lot of moisture in the ground. In the Northwest it will grow in full sun, however, in the South it appreciates some shade or filtered sun at least during the afternoon hours.

How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors

Kuma Zasa Bamboo is a running bamboo, which means it spreads, but it doesn’t spread nearly as much or aggressively as some other dwarf bamboo species. If you want to ensure it stays within a specific space we suggest the use of Bamboo Root Barrier to control spread.

Your website with the ability to ask questions was very helpful. I was able to decide what plans would work in my climate zone and how many to order for my sized planters. The plants arrives promptly and in good shape. While a little pricey I’m very satisfied with my purchase.——————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

Received the order on time, yesterday afternoon. Planted same. Highly impressed with the plants, highly impressed with the packaging. Bravo.———————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

We carefully chose our bamboo plant for hardiness in our area and for its unique look. Because the plant was being shipped to us, we also were careful to find a good vendor.
And we did!
The plant arrived on time, and well-packaged. It has done well for a couple of weeks already, in an outdoor pot. Freezing nights and hot sunny days have not bothered it. Note that it is in a protected location, with morning sun and bright days but will not get direct hot summer sun. Very happy with the plant and with Wilson Bros.————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
