Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra)

Black Bamboo is a striking ornamental bamboo known for its unique dark purple to black canes that develop as the plant matures. It creates a bold, modern look and is often used for privacy screens, accent plantings, and Japanese-style landscapes. Unlike clumping bamboo, it spreads through underground runners and should be planted with containment or barriers. It grows quickly in full sun to partial shade and provides dense coverage with a distinctive architectural feel. A great choice for dramatic contrast and visual impact in the landscape. *Photographed in 15 and 25 gallon sizes*
