Plant of the Month
February: Golden-groove Bamboo
This month's plant of the month, as selected by our friends at online garden centre, Crocus.co.uk, is the Golden-groove Bamboo (Phyllostachys aureosulcata f. aureocaulis).
A tall, coloured-stemmed bamboo with rich yellow canes with a few green stripes at the base, this green-leaved bamboo looks spectacular grown as a specimen.
One of Crocus.co.uk's 'highly recommended plants', it should be planted next to a building or path where the near-luminous, yellow to burnt orange coloured canes can be enjoyed all year.
Position: full sun or partial shade
Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: average
Leaves: mid-green
Canes: rich yellow
Hardiness: fully hardy
Garden care: Plant in a large container or surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier that restricts the plant's spread
