Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' 18 Litres
Phyllostachys aureosulcata f. spectabilis is commonly known as yellow groove bamboo. It is a clumping bamboo in dry soils but spreading in moist soils. The canes of this cultivar are green with random yellow stripes, and as they mature they develop a waxy coating that gives them a shiny appearance and they have a distinctive zig-zag growth pattern.
This bamboo cultivar is known for its ornamental value, with its unique colouration and attractive foliage making it a popular choice for landscaping and garden design. It is also useful for erosion control and as a privacy screen.
Bamboo spectabilis prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, requiring minimal watering once established, and it can tolerate temperatures as low as -10°C. However, it is important to note that bamboo can spread aggressively if not properly contained, so it is recommended to plant it in a container or use a barrier to restrict its growth.
