Planting and Application:

Not only is Clumping Bamboo, also known as Dragon Head Bamboo, a must-have for Meditation gardens and Asian-inspired garden areas but also looks great around the Pool or outdoor seating areas! Clumping Bamboo works beautifully in planters and containers so even balcony gardeners and decks can enjoy pinpoint privacy and screening around the Pool. Add casters to your planters and create rolling screening that moves where you need it most!

These vigorous growing plants are deer resistant and can be used throughout the partial shade understory and out-of-the-way areas where fast fill and coverage are needed but there are larger trees and shrubs adding shade. Create fast hedges and property division to hide a messy or nosy neighbor, or those more utilitarian landscape aspects!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This plant is easy to care for and grows nearly anywhere in full sun or shaded conditions. It needs well-drained soil, so create a raised planting bed if you suffer from poor drainage. It's best to avoid the hottest places in your landscape for the best performance. Water carefully to establish, and provide supplemental water during long periods of drought from then on. Prune once a year in late winter before new growth appears. Chop the dried shoots and use them as garden mulch in your other garden beds, or add them to your compost pile.

• Grows in Full Sun to Part Shade
• Well-Drained Soil
• Moist to Average Watering Needs
• Prune Back Early Spring
• Easy Care & Low-Maintenance
