Sasa veitchii - how fast does it spread?

Hi, all,

I'm thinking of planting Sasa veitchii as a groundcover under some large trees. I know it's hardy here - looks great in the winter - but how fast does it spread? Does it need containment or can I just trim around the edges of the planting a couple of times a year to keep it contained?

Also, will pruning it to 24" increase/decrease the rate of spread, or have no effect?

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Best,

Jen
