Phyllostachys nigra
Also known as: Black Bamboo
This striking evergreen bamboo is prized as a garden ornamental with 15-25ft. tall, upright, polished black canes that arch slightly at the top. Olive green at first, the 2" culms quickly become mottled with brown-black before maturing to almost jet black within 2-3 years. Since the culms to not mature at the same time, there is always a rich display of green and black culms. They contrast beautifully with the short and narrow, glossy green leaves, up to 5". Vigorous, this running bamboo makes an outstanding specimen or focal point in the landscape. It can also be used as a screen and can be grown in containers.
It prefers full sun or partial shade and is best grown in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soils. Best if planted in an open position but may remain clump-forming in poor or dry soils.
USDA Zones: 7-10

Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.
Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
