Notes
Hedge bamboo (Phyllostachys glauca) is a grass for 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 or chalky soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought once established. Plants reach about 15 to 25 feet tall, so give it plenty of room.
