Aurea - Golden

(Golden Bamboo)

Phyllostachys aurea

The most commonly-cultivated bamboo in the U.S. Easily identified by one of several short internodes at the base of some of its canes. Hardy and drought-tolerant. Good bamboo for potted plant. Extremely aggressive - has given bamboo a bad name - not recommended without containment. In full sun will yellow but stays green in partial shade or indoors.
