Black Bamboo Care & Information

Make a Bold Statement With Black Bamboo 

Black Bamboo is the rockstar of the bamboo world! This stunning plant features deep, ebony-hued canes that stand out against a backdrop of lush green leaves. Perfect for creating an exotic privacy screen, adding texture to a garden, or as a striking focal point, Black Bamboo is a showstopper.

Why You'll Love It

  • Unique Aesthetic: Its dark, dramatic canes bring instant sophistication to your outdoor space.
  • Fast-Growing Privacy: Dense growth makes it an ideal natural barrier for noise and nosy neighbors.
  • Cold Hardy & Adaptable: Thrives in USDA zones 6-10 and can handle a range of soil types.
  • Container Friendly: Grow it indoors or on your patio for a modern, Zen-inspired vibe.

Planting & Care

Black Bamboo prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It grows quickly, reaching heights of up to 25 feet in ideal conditions, but can be pruned to maintain a manageable size. For container planting, regular watering and a balanced fertilizer keep this beauty thriving.
