Black Bamboo |
This is a tall running, very exotic looking Bamboo that needs to be confined or it becomes invasive. Its one to two-story stalks are green the first year; then it becomes a dark purple to jet-black color. This bamboo can reach 25' tall slowly. It looks great in containers and for Asian themed gardens.
