Black Bamboo, Clumping Bamboo, Ground Cover and Screening Bamboo
Several varieties of bamboo that includes Black Bamboo, Clumping Bamboo, Ground Cover and Screening Bamboo.

Mail Order is available for some plants through PayPal. Most major credit cards are accepted. The plants are shipped UPS ground with the root balls wrapped in paper and plastic to retain moisture. The stems are trimmed for shipping and wrapped in plastic to minimize leaf loss. Plants are shipped out on Mondays to minimize delivery transit time.
Larger plants are available through local delivery or pickup at the Farmers Market.
Bamboo plant installation is also available for those living in North Carolina. As of now large orders for bamboo screens are available for Black Bamboo and Golden Bamboo.
For Bamboo Grove Management you can contact my friend and affiliate David Benfield at Brightside Bamboo which includes Thinning, Containment (Rhizome Barrier Installation) and Removal of Bamboo in unwanted areas.

Bamboo Muhly Grass Muhlenbergia dumosa
A unique looking plant with weeping culms with fern like feathery leaves. Bamboo Muhly grass is an ornamental grass and not a bamboo. This plant makes an excellent accent or small screening plant. Once established this plant is drought tolerant.
| Tolerates | Spread | Min. Temp | Light | Height | Culm Diameter | Culm Features | Leaf Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drought | Slow | 10 Degrees F | Full Sun | 4-6 Feet | 0.25 Inch | Green | Green Feathery |
Lucky Bamboo(Dracaena Sanderiana)
Lucky Bamboo is another plant that is thought of as bamboo but is actually a Dracaena house plant. This plant does well in distilled water and gravel. It is great for low light environments such as an office or home setting. Water should be completely changed every two weeks and is fertilized with Super Green Lucky Bamboo fertilizer.

Scripture of the Day
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” (Phil. 4:8) |
