Sasamorpha borealis growing in Rochester Indiana zone 5b


This cold hardy native of Hokkaido, Japan grows more upright than most Sasa species. It remains evergreen here during a lot of our winters, especially if covered by snow.


We grow ours underneath a Yoshino cherry tree and it's been very happy there for a number of years now.
