Heavenly Bamboo seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Heavenly Bamboo for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. foliage refresh as older leaves shed in late winter was the clear high point — everything you're told about Heavenly Bamboo at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

year-round evergreen screening and architectural presence is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a poolside or water feature surrounding planting as the ideal position. removing the oldest and most congested canes each spring was the lesson I took into next year. die-back after mass flowering which occurs once per lifetime is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
