Perhaps the most magnificent of the clumping varieties that are evergreen in zone 8, ‘Kanapaha’ is a stately giant and the largest of the textilis bamboos. This one produces beautiful blue new culms that mature to green and the foliage looks like other textilis but with larger and longer lush leaves. On mature specimens the lower half of culms will be branchless showing off the blue coloration of younger canes…a site to behold! A fast grower to 50 feet, this bamboo forms a tight clump of 2.5 inch diameter culms up to 20 feet wide. So make sure to leave plenty of space to grow. Kanapaha Bamboo loves as much sun as you can give it and is hardy to 15°F.

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8b, where this Bamboo variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
