Description
Green Stripe Bamboo is a striking, fast-growing perennial perfect for Massachusetts landscapes. Its rigid, upright golden canes feature bold green stripes, creating a striking visual contrast. With an occasional zig-zag kink in its growth, this bamboo adds architectural interest to hedges, mass plantings, and Japanese-inspired gardens. Thriving in full sun to full shade, it serves as an excellent screen while maintaining its lush forest-green foliage throughout the season.
Reaching up to 20 feet tall with a narrow 3-foot spread, Green Stripe Bamboo grows quickly and requires regular maintenance to control its spreading nature. It performs well in moist, well-drained soil and is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, making it ideal for city gardens. Though it dies back in winter, new shoots emerge vigorously in spring. Whether planted in garden beds or large containers, this bamboo adds vertical elegance and year-round beauty to any Massachusetts landscape.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
