This one doesn't run at all but, similar to pampas grass and other large ornamental grasses, forms a clump that will increase in size over the years, similar to pampas or other large growing ornamental grasses. Dragon's Head Bamboo forms dense mounds of arching canes with willowy foliage that is a very graceful specimen in the landscape. It is also useful in groupings or as a mid-size hedge that grows to 10 feet tall and wide over time. The plants in our gardens have grown to about 5 feet tall in as many years. That said, we have it growing in a lot of shade where it receives no direct sunlight. With more sun we hear it quickly shoots up to about 10 feet in height. That said, in hot climates from Zone 7a southward this bamboo prefers some shade or filtered sun during the hot afternoon hours. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Other Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eContainers\/Pots: \u003c\/span\u003eExcellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCrafts: \u003c\/span\u003eGood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEdible: \u003c\/span\u003eToo small\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHedge: \u003c\/span\u003eExcellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIndoor: \u003c\/span\u003eGood - \u003cspan\u003ePLEASE \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSEE:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHow To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOrnamental: \u003c\/span\u003eExcellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePrivacy Screen: \u003c\/span\u003eGood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWood Quality: \u003c\/span\u003eNA\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Bamboo variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDragon's Head Bamboo grows well in most any average garden soil and full sun to part shade in USDA Zone 6 and shade or part shade in Zones 7-9, where it prefers some afternoon shade or heavily filtered sun.
