Bamboo Garden
Bamboo is a great choice for specimen planting or for screening, and it can be easy to grow if you know how to manage it. It fits in with most garden styles, and there are varieties of nearly every size and for every hardiness zone. Use it to add a modern os Asian vibe to any garden space that needs updating. Here are the basics on how to grow bamboo in your garden!
There are basically two types of bamboo. Running bamboo is the type you have been warned about that can take over your entire yard (and the next one) in a pretty darn short time, turning it into a tropical jungle. But with some tricks, you can grow it!
Clumping bamboo is a more well contained type of bamboo, and while it still spreads underground, it is much slower and controlled. This is a better choice for the casual gardener, or those with limited space but who still want to know how to plant and grow bamboo. Photo by ‘Adam Robinson Design’.

If you have found a species of running bamboo that you just have to try, you will have to contain the underground roots from spreading beyond your planting area. There are several ways to achieve this.
Clumping Bamboo is much less likely to run rampant across your property. Many varieties are quite polite, in fact. Make sure you check the size and space requirements of the variety you purchase. You can grow clumping bamboo in pots, or in the ground as a great backdrop to your garden. This type of bamboo also makes a fast growing privacy screen. Photo by ‘Residential Landscape Projects’.
Both types of bamboo can be grown successfully in containers. This is the lowest maintenance option, and can help maintain the health of the rest of your garden. Be sure to choose a bamboo container large enough to be in scale with the eventual height of your variety.
