Bamboo Plants

Planting in the Ground or in Containers

Whatever type, size, or design of garden you have there are plenty of bamboo plants to choose from, approximately 1,000 different species and 91 genera! This huge number of species means that you can't fail to find some to suit your ideas for your bamboo garden with different species being suited to different conditions such as climate and soil.

Some species of bamboo garden plants are suited to growing in both the ground and containers. If you don't want to plant your new bamboo out just yet, are undecided as to where to site it in the garden, or if you are like me and like to move your plants around to get a different feel occasionally, bamboo in pots is an excellent idea!

Ornamental Bamboo

There are all kinds of bamboos that make a fantastic ornamental style bamboo garden attractions whether in the ground or in pots. See my page dedicated to...

• Ornamental Bamboo

Groundcover

Bamboos make excellent garden ground cover, container, or accent plants. Ground covering plants help to retain moisture in the soil, can be used for landscaping and erosion control, as under planting, and to cover steep ground. There are many varieties of dwarf bamboo that are excellent for these purposes. Please see my section dedicated to Dwarf Bamboo for more information and a species list.

Hedge

Bamboo garden hedging can make quite an impact and can be cut or trimmed in the same way as you would do with traditional hedging plants. Follow this link for a list of suitable species and detailed information about bamboo hedging

• Bamboo Hedging

Privacy Screen

Bamboo plants can easily be cultivated into a privacy screen and can be trimmed or pruned to suit the design of your garden. The main difference between a privacy screen and a hedge is that a privacy screen is usually required to be taller and a hedge desired to be shorter and be generally more formal in appearance. For more detail and a list of suitable species have a browse through my page dedicated to screens.

Windbreaks

Bamboos plants are a good choice for domestic gardens or commercial windbreaks because they can be; cultivated, pruned or trimmed... and can even be harvested for a variety of crafts and hobbies.
