bamboo
Bamboo forms beautifully small clumps with a natural arching gait. The Black bamboo does not spread as quickly as its other cousins so ideal for screening in smaller gardens. Bamboo not only gives a visually pleasing aspect but can give an audible response as the breezes pass through. This is why Bamboo is so popular in sensory gardens. The canes normally green the first year becoming mottled dark brown or black. Grows in fertile moist soil in full sun or dappled shade.
