Sasaella ramosa, commonly known as Bamboo Grass or Broadleaf Bamboo Grass, is a semi-deciduous perennial grass native to the understory of moist woodlands and forest openings in East Asia, particularly Japan. It exhibits a rapid growth rate, reaching heights and widths of 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters). This plant forms dense clumps of broad, lance-shaped leaves that can add a lush, tropical feel to the garden. The foliage remains green throughout the growing season, with some leaves persisting through mild winters.

Bamboo Grass is valued for its ability to form dense ground covers, making it suitable for erosion control and as an underplanting in woodland gardens. It is also used to create a naturalistic or Asian-inspired aesthetic in landscapes. In cultivation, Sasaella ramosa thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers medium draining soils such as clay, loam, or sandy compositions. It requires medium amounts of water and can tolerate a range of soil pH levels. While generally low-maintenance, it can become invasive if not managed properly, spreading through rhizomes to form extensive colonies. To prevent unwanted spread, it may be necessary to install root barriers or grow it in containers.CC BY-SA 4.0
