Enquiry - Pleioblastus pygmaeus:
I've never had this plant get over 12" to 18" and that is usually only if it is grown in deep shade. In full sun it tends to stay shorter, more compact and dense. You can also cut or trim this bamboo ground cover with a mower or weed eater periodically and it cause it to flush out with new growth.

It is a running or spreading ground cover, spreading by an underground rhizome system (like a grass, which it is) and not by seed or above ground trailing type stolons. It is very easy to work with and control.

What is your primary interest in bamboo plants?
 
One of the first bamboo plants imported into the US was Golden Bamboo or Fishpole Bamboo as it is more commonly known in the south. Golden Bamboo (Phyllostachys aurea) was imported into the US early in the 17th century. It is a beautiful bamboo with contorted lower nodes that cane fishing poles are traditionally made from and although one of the most common bamboo plants found is still popular today.
