Drepanostachyum khasianum 'Shillong'
The foliage is particularly striking, elegant with older dark green glossy leaves contrasting with lighter new leaves, richer blue-coloured shoots and purple culm nodes. 'Shillong' differs from the standard form in its smaller, narrower, thinner leaves, shorter stature, redder leaf sheaths and purple rings both above and below the nodes. It is a great indoor bamboo.
