Bambusa multiplex 'Riviereorum' (Clumping Bamboo With Too Many Vowels)
Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10 120" tall Origin: China
No muss, no fuss, no trouble! We have long experimented with this heat-loving clumping bamboo and still find it strangely underused in southeastern gardens. This 10' clumper dies to the ground at 10 degrees F, but returns late the next summer when the heat builds. We grow it as we would an ornamental grass and cut it to the ground in early spring. When winter temperatures stay between 15-20 degrees F, the stems will remain green and the leaves evergreen. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
