Bamboos evoke an exotic atmosphere wherever they are used.
Unfortunately, however, they are kept out of gardens for
fear of their invasive qualities or lack of hardiness.
In truth, these elegant grasses can achieve dramatic yet
restrained effects in a range of climates. Their uses
include both the ornamental, offering striking foliage
and culms, and the practical, providing screening or erosion
control, not to mention the culinary treat of bamboo shoots
and the structural qualities of the culm wood. Tropical
and subtropical bamboos present many possibilities for
landscapes in warmer climates, while the hardier species
can be grown as far north as Minnesota.
Hidden Gardens Nursery supplies many types of bamboos
and will be happy to assist you in selecting the perfect
species to compliment your landscaping.
