Notes
'Boryana' black bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra 'Boryana') is a grass for containers and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves through winter. It grows about 15 to 25 feet tall, so give it room. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Chinese rhubarb, Mexican orange blossom, and Caucasian comfrey.
