Bambusa multiplex ‘Alphonse Karr’ – BMPA

Description Description:   This is a very popular garden clumper with attractive green striped golden culms and a pleasing umbrella shaped form.  New shoots often have a pinkish or reddish cast.  It’s one of the hardier of the semitropical bamboos, making it an ideal clumper for sunny locations in our area. Recommended Uses:  A choice ornamental, good for a privacy hedge, windbreak, or mid-sized point of interest. Ideal Growing Conditions:  Thrives in partial to full sun, will be happiest if it doesn’t get below 30º F, but will survive down to 25º F.  This tight clumper looks its best when thinned annually once it is well established. Other Considerations: Shoots year round. Related
