Description

A rare form of Phyllostachys aurea (Golden Bamboo), ‘Flavenscens-Inversa’ is a handsome and colorful golden bamboo with green culms (canes) that are striped in a vivid yellow. Another interesting feature are the stacked inter-nodes at the base of the culms which are often called “turtle shells.” Its low-growing limbs, along with thick and lush foliage, make Flavescens-Inversa a great selection for privacy screening purposes. 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 1.75 inch diameter culms. Flavescens-Inversa likes as much sun as you can give it for best coloration but will grow in part shade. Cold hardy to 0°F.

Culms are used for interior decoration, fishing rods, walking sticks, umbrella handles, and many other crafts projects.

Growing Preferences

This Bamboo is easy to grow in any average, well-drained but moist soil and full sun to oart shade. During the first growing season after planting, water as needed to keep soil around the plants moist, but not soggy or wet. When established, most bamboo will tolerate periods of dry weather, however, will appreciate an occasional deep soaking if the leaves begin to curl from drought stress.

How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors

It 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 some 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.
