Overview

Painted Bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris 'vittata') is a striking, clumping bamboo highly prized for its bright yellow canes adorned with random green stripes, providing a strong visual impact. Maturing to heights of 30-40 feet with a cane diameter of 2-3 inches, it prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Ideal as a focal point or privacy screen, it's fast-growing and resilient, yet manageable with regular maintenance.
