Bambusa [28] The clump-forming, hardy evergreen bamboos are ideal as screening, informal hedging, infill or background plants. Unless otherwise stated they will do best in a sunny, sheltered position where the soil is not too dry. The potential height shown will only be achieved in ideal conditions.
Phyllostachys nigra (Black bamboo) [30] Potential height up to 8m. Light green leaves are carried on green culms which will darken and turn black by their second season if exposed to the sun.
