| I saw in a book some time back and do not have the book, it showed a bamoo which acted like a ground cover. It only got about 3' tall or so.
Was I dreaming? A little help....please. |

| Yes, it is true. They are in the Pleioblastus family. I have 4 different varities. They are runners. I have a few in the ground but I have a barrier to stop them from going into a certain area. The rest are in pots. |

| So do you have any pictures of them? I am planning on making beds for them as we have rock about 10" to 12" below the surface. I will be digging out and pouring into the rock and raising the bed. Thank you. |

| If you search from google.com, look up "Pleioblastus Bamboo", Dwarf or Pgymy Bamboo, it will give you all kinds of photo's and information. |

| There is a list of bamboos shorter than 3 feet tall at the following link. Ignore the unknown heights "U". They could be any height. Bill |
Here is a link that might be useful: Short bamboo

| Thanks Bill thats a great resource. |
