Black Bamboo is a stunning and rare ornamental bamboo with stems that turn black in their second and third growing years. The dark color contrasts attractively with the green foliage making an exotic statement in the garden. Ideal as a windbreak or privacy screen, Black Bamboo is slow to spread at first but should still be contained to prevent underground runners from spreading beyond where it is wanted. Prefers regular water and a deep mulch.
