Khasia
Drepanostachyum Khasianum
This clumping bamboo originates in the Himalayas and is also known as Himalayan Weeping or Purple Jade. It's quite an ornamental bamboo due to its culm weeping, large leaves relative to its size, and a slight purplish tint on the internodes. It can appear struggle a little during the summer with our heat if in full sun. The leaves will curl closed, but open again when out of direct sunlight. Please note that Khasia pictured is not quite a year old.
Bottom line: A beautiful focal point, and also a great choice for a container bamboo.
