Description: Black bamboo is a running, spreading type of bamboo with narrow green leaves and culms that become dark with age. It does best in well-drained soil. This bamboo should be planted with controls to limit its spread and pruned to maintain height and vigor. Alternatively, it can be planted in containers. It will also appreciate applications of a balanced slow-release fertilizer. An excellent choice for an upright striking accent.
