Spectabilis Showy Yellow Grove Bamboo
Phyllostachys aurea 'Spectabilis'
Showy Yellow Grove Bamboo
Currently unavailable
Colors are reversed from the species, so it has bright yellow culms with a green sulcus. It is the hardiest bamboo with yellow and green striped color pattern. Like the other forms of the species, this bamboo makes an excellent hedge or screen due to its fast, upright growth. When grown in a sunny location, the new culms have a spectacular red highlight in the spring and early summer. Also an excellent bamboo for growing in containers due to its hardiness and upright growth, though they will require winter protection in northern Utah.
