I think bamboo is a great plant. I have plans to add this one to my Japanese bit of the garden but the contrast with aurea might tempt me to get two ;o )

Brought from ebay as very small plant. Was told it was clump forming . Planted in the garden then at the beginning of the year these really tought shoots came up through the weed liner and the purple slate!! Husband had to dig it out and put in in a bucket in the ground - hope this was a good idea
