‘Spectabilis’ Green Groove Bamboo

Plant Details

USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 5a-11  Find Your Zone

Type: Running

Culm Diameter: 1.5 to 2″
Sun: Full Sun or Part Shade
Soil: Average

Description

A rare and beautiful collector species and exceptionally cold hardy, Green Groove Bamboo has unusual yellow and green striped canes that grow very dense to give you a great, colorful privacy screen. Bright yellow coloration of the canes with the green stripe in the sulcus grooves is absolutely beautiful. Even more, its dark foliage contrasts wonderfully with the yellow canes. A fast grower to 25 to 30 feet tall in warmer climates and 15 to 25 feet in cooler climates, this bamboo forms a thick grove of 1.5 to 1.75 inch diameter culms. Spectabilis likes as much sun as you can give it for best coloration but will grow in part shade. Handles windy sites better than Yellow Groove Bamboo and is cold hardy to -15°F.
Average Height by USDA Zone
USDA Zone 7-11:  20 to 30 feet in height.
USDA Zone 6:  16 feet in height.
USDA Zone 5:  12 to 14 feet in height.
USDA Zone 4:  average 8 feet in height with some top kill during severe winters

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Bamboo variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Green Groove Bamboo is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Coloration is best with at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the first growing season after planting, water as needed to keep soil around the plants moist, but not soggy or wet. Established plants have good drought tolerance.
How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors
Green Groove is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. New shoots of Green Groove Bamboo can also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.
