Bamboos
Bamboos provide beautiful canes in gold, black or green. Excellent as evergreen screening and a popular choice in urban environments as an elegant solution to the problem of privacy. They also make superb feature plants. Usually low-maintenance, they just need pruning once a year. ; Top tip: Bamboos generally need containment, a physical barrier to stop their gentle, inexorable spread, so take this into account when planting them.
