Bambusa multiplex ‘Golden Goddess’
Common name: Golden Goddess
This is a tropical bamboo with a thick, clumping habit. It is probably the least hardiest of all the Multiplex clumping bamboo that we grow. Though it is supposed to hardy to 12º f-15º f, we’ve seen ours take three nights of 9ºf, plus a week of solid freezing and still come back up from the roots, though much slower than the others. We do mulch our Multiplex heavily with leaf material in the late Fall. New culms appear late in the Spring. We treat it almost like a perennial here in our garden, along with our Hardy Banana and Gunnera. In the inland valleys of the Pacific Northwest, it usually grows to about 6′-10′, unless given ideal conditions. It makes a great screen or hedge. Any of our Bambusa multiplex would make a nice addition to an interiorscape.
