Heavily laden with fine, delicate, rich green foliage, the Tibetan Princess grows very upright at first, but as taller canes are produced, they will gracefully dip under the weight of foliage, resulting in a willowy shape. Culms turn cinnamon colored in full sun. In the shade, they remain a fresh green with white rings at the nodes. To 15′ tall locally. A very decorative ornamental.

An attractive specimen plant, this is a tight clumper similar to H. falconeri Damarapa, but more upright in habit. Sheaths have unique spiraling dark green stripes.
