Family:Poaceae

This bamboo species has the potential to invade surrounding planting areas. To manage its aggressive growth, consider using a container, a hardscape pathway, a sand moat, or another type of barrier. It thrives in full sunlight but appreciates some shade during the afternoon, and it flourishes in rich, moist, well-drained soil. This plant can serve effectively as a screen or hedge, or it can stand out as a striking specimen. It is hardy down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
