Choose by height, spread and growing site
A seed packet is the beginning of a planting project. Check the plant's mature size, sun exposure, soil drainage and winter hardiness before deciding where it belongs. Allow space for its eventual spread and assess any containment needs before planting bamboo.
For a different garden layer, explore creeping thyme seeds or fern spores and live fern options. Thyme and ferns are distinct plant groups with different care needs. Add seasonal flowers from our flower seed collection.
Ornamental grass and bamboo questions
Are ornamental grasses suitable for a lawn?
Do not assume so. Ornamental varieties are usually selected for their mature form and texture. Check the particular species before using it in an area that will be mown or receive regular foot traffic.
What is the difference between running and clumping bamboo?
Running bamboo spreads through underground stems that can extend well beyond the original planting. Clumping bamboo expands more closely around the clump. Both need adequate space, and the species should be matched to your site and regional planting guidance.
Will these plants return every year?
That depends on the species and your winter conditions. Check whether the selected plant is perennial in your area instead of assuming every ornamental grass or bamboo has the same cold tolerance.
