Phyllostachys heteroclada 'Purpurata' (Water Bamboo)

Phyllostachys heteroclada 'Purpurata', commonly known as Water Bamboo, is a vibrant and ornamental bamboo cultivar. It features striking purple culms that can reach up to 30 feet in height. The feathery leaves create a dense canopy, making it an excellent choice for screening or creating privacy in the garden. Water Bamboo is well-suited for wet areas and can be grown near ponds, streams, or in damp soil. Its clumping growth habit spreads moderately and does not require extensive maintenance.
