MARBLED BAMBOO

---

• An excellent hedge plant, the marbled bamboo has unusual colors in its new shoots. They are pale green, mottled with brown and silvery white, with pink tips and stripes. In full sun, the mature culms develop into a deep purple, almost black, which accounts for its other common name "black bamboo."
   
• Can be invasive, so keep contained with curbing or other hardscape. Best transplanted in spring to avoid loss of new plants due to high heat or soggy, cold soil.
   
• Hardy to 20 degrees F. Height to 6 feet.
