Collection: Our Midsize Bamboo Collection

Many bamboo varieties are surprisingly cold-hardy. Several of our bamboo plants thrive in USDA zones 5 through 9, while others are better suited for warmer regions. Always check the listed hardiness zone for each bamboo variety to ensure success in your climate.

Some bamboo types are considered “running” because they spread through rhizomes. When planted responsibly using root barriers or containment methods, running bamboo can be safely managed and makes an excellent privacy screen. Clumping bamboo varieties remain naturally contained and do not spread aggressively.

Once established, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the garden. Growth rates vary by species, climate, and care, but many varieties can gain several feet of height each growing season.

Bamboo can be planted in spring or fall in most warmer regions. In cooler regions, it can be planted early Spring to late Fall Planting during mild temperatures allows roots to establish before extreme heat or cold.

Most bamboo prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Regular watering during the first growing season helps bamboo establish strong roots.

Our bamboo plants are carefully packaged to protect roots and canes during transit. Plants are shipped at the appropriate size for safe delivery and successful transplanting.
