One method of containment is to dig an open trench 6 inches wide and 2 feet deep around the area you want this plant to grow; if you leave it open, it will air-prune most of the rhizomes, and you can easily cut any that extend out into the trench. Some prefer to fill their 2 foot trench with rocks and concrete to contain the roots, especially if they have a narrow area by a fence or a corner of the yard to fill.

When this happens, you have to wait for another year to roll around before you can enjoy the blooms. Frost Proof Gardenia earns its name by being able to withstand late-spring frosts so you don't miss flowers later that summer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHeat-\u003c\/b\u003e Frost Proof Gardenia sails through the heat of summer like a champ. In cooler regions of its hardiness zone, this plant can handle full sun, but in hotter climates, it prospers with 4 to 6 hours of morning sun and a little shade from the intense afternoon sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHumidity-\u003c\/b\u003e Although some flowering plants, including other types of gardenias, don't hold up well in the humid climate of the Deep South, Frost Proof Gardenia is unflagging. This tough little shrub thrives in 50 to 60 percent relative humidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeer Resistance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Frost Proof Gardenia is surprisingly resistant to deer. This is good news for gardeners who live in rural areas, because it's challenging to find flowering plants '– or even foliage plants '– that are not left tattered after hungry deer graze on them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Plant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The best times of year to plant Frost Proof Gardenia are fall, winter and spring. In the cooler weather of these seasons, shrubs have an easier time acclimating to a new site as their root systems begin developing. Although you can also plant Frost Proof Gardenia shrubs in the summer, you must be diligent in watering them sufficiently so their roots don't dry out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to Plant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Many landscape plants fail because they were simply planted in the wrong spot. Selecting a suitable site is critical to a gardenia's continued health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHardiness Range\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Choosing plants that are hardy in the growing zone where you live is an important consideration for establishing a garden with plants that can survive winter temperatures. Frost Proof Gardenia grows as a perennial in USDA plant hardiness zones 7 through 11. It is marginally hardy in some areas of zone 6, which means it may grows as a perennial in protected garden spots or regions with warmer micro-climates. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSun or Shade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In most gardens, the best spot to plant Frost Proof Gardenia is where it receives full sun in the morning '– 4 to 6 hours '– and filtered or partial sun in the afternoon. However, it also tolerates full sun in all but the harshest climates across its hardiness range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSoil \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Frost Proof Gardenia adapts to many types of soils, including sand, loam and clay. Regardless of the type of soil, the soil must drain well. If your garden spot contains heavy clay, you'll want to loosen the soil by adding organic amendments. As an option, you can plant Frost Proof Gardenia in a raised bed so the water drains more easily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMature Plant Size\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a very important step in deciding where to plant your gardenia. Although the plants we ship to you are healthy and full, they are still actively growing and have not reached their mature size yet. Don't select a planting site based on the immature size of your Frost Proof Gardenia; instead, consider what it will look like when it's fully grown and plant accordingly so you don't crowd other plants or locate it too close to structures, such as fences or outside walls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you Plant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Even before you remove new plants from their nursery pots, take the time to prepare their new \"home\" '– the planting site '– to give them the best leg up for healthy growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSoil pH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The pH of your soil is important for growing healthy Frost Proof Gardenias. These plants grow best in acidic soils, from 5.0 to 6.0. If you take a soil sample to your local Cooperative Extension Service, they'll test the soil pH and advise you what to add the soil if you need to adjust the pH. In soils that are too alkaline, gardenia leaves may turn yellow. If you plant Frost Proof gardenia shrubs as a border along a concrete sidewalk, driveway or patio, the gradual leaching of limestone in the cement may raise the soil pH outside gardenia's optimal acidic range. Just keep an eye on your plants and notice if some of the leaves begin to turn yellow so you can adjust the soil pH, if needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmending the Soil\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Soil amendments are not fertilizers, although some amendments do provide nutritional value. Amendments enrich and improve the soil structure, creating a healthier environment for plant roots to grow and develop. It's better to amend an entire growing site than to add amendments to individual planting holes. You can get your Frost Proof Gardenias off to a healthier start by spreading 2 inches of organic matter, such as compost, on top of the soil and incorporating it to a depth of 6 inches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUnderground Utilities\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you have underground utility lines, call a locate service company so they can mark the ground above any buried utility cables before you dig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Plant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePlanting Hole Depth and Width\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's essential to plant Frost Proof Gardenias at the proper depth. Dig planting holes no deeper than the root ball of each plant. You can even plant gardenia shrubs so they're slightly higher than the soil level to make sure they're not buried too deeply. If you didn't amend the entire planting site, dig planting holes three times the width of each root ball. After you place plants in the holes, backfill with the soil you removed, and very lightly firm the soil around each plant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMulching\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Frost Proof Gardenias like moist, but not soggy, soil. By applying a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch around each plant, such as pine straw, chopped leaves or shredded bark, this will help keep the soil moist. Frost Proof Gardenias also have fairly shallow root systems, so a layer of mulch helps protect their roots from damage. Pull the mulch away from the base of each plant; otherwise new roots may grow into the mulch instead of into the soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWatering\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Water your newly-planted gardenias thoroughly so the entire root system is moistened. If natural rainfall doesn't provide 1 inch of water each week, hand-water your gardenias so their roots stay hydrated. Direct the water at the base of each plant instead of soaking the foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOngoing Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWater\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Continue to water your gardenias deeply once a week during any periods of drought or low rainfall, particularly in the heat of summer. Drip irrigation by soaker hoses or weep tapes provide an easy way to keep plants watered, especially if you install a timer for automatic irrigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To determine if your soil has any nutrient deficiencies, take a soil sample to your local Cooperative Extension Service. They will perform a soil test and interpret the results, making recommendations for any needed fertilizer. Typically, you'll fertilize your Frost Proof Gardenias twice a year '– a light application after frost has passed in spring and another application 6 weeks later. This helps maximize the bloom potential of your plants. Look for fertilizers that are formulated for other acid-loving plants, such as azaleas and camellias and follow all label recommendations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePruning\/Shaping\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Frost Proof Gardenias don't need much '– if any '– pruning. If you want to shape your shrubs, prune them after their initial heavy blooming in summer. You can pinch out just the growing tips to make plants bushier, or you can cut plants back to reduce their height. Don't prune past late summer, which can reduce the number of next year's blooms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSpraying\/Pests\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You may see whiteflies on your gardenias from time to time. They're easily controlled by spraying your plants with insecticidal soap, which comes premixed in an easy-to-use spray bottle at nurseries and garden stores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Even though it's a Southern heritage plant, the gardenia's native habitat is China. In 1761, gardenias were first shipped to the U.S., where John Ellis grew them in South Carolina. Ellis honored his friend, Dr. Alexander Garden, a Charleston physician, by requesting that the genus \"Gardenia\" be named for him. The plants Ellis originally cultivated in South Carolina became the foundation plants for all the gardenias that were later grown in England.

Your roses will arrive healthy, with a well-developed root system. Follow these planting guidelines to get your shrubs off to a good start in your garden:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSelecting the Site\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Double Knock Out Roses thrive in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 9. (If you're planting your shrubs in containers, this places their roots above ground level where they will not be insulated by the surrounding soil, so they'll overwinter in their pots to Zone 6.) A full-sun location (at least 6, but preferably 8 hours of sun each day) promotes fuller foliage growth and more flowers. Double Knock Out Roses aren't too fussy about the type of soil they grow in, but they do need a well-draining site. If the roots sit in soggy soil, they may rot. Before excavating planting holes, have a locate service mark the ground above any underground utility lines so you don't sever them when you dig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreparing the Site\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Loosen the soil on-site by digging or tilling to a depth of 6 inches. Spread an organic amendment...we recommend the \u003cb\u003e Brighter Blooms Organic Planting Mix\u003c\/b\u003e, in a 2-inch layer over the entire planting area and work it into the loosened soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePlanting Hole Depth and Width\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dig a planting hole wider than it is deep, using the root ball of your Double Knock Out Roses as a guide. The hole should be only as deep as the root ball but several times as wide. Gently remove your plant from its container and place it in the planting hole, checking its depth to make sure it won't be planted deeper in the ground than it was in its container. Backfill the hole with the soil you removed when digging without adding potting mix, fertilizer or any soil amendments to the planting hole. Instead, give your roses a head start by adding an organic bio-stimulant, like the \u003cb\u003eBrighter Blooms Root Rocket\u003c\/b\u003e. Add one per plant. \u003ci\u003eVery lightly \u003c\/i\u003efirm the soil around the shrub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMulching\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Add 2 to 3 inches of mulch, such as chopped leaves, pine needles, shredded pine bark, hardwood chips or nuggets around your plants to the width of the hole you dug. This will help conserve moisture and keep the weeds at a minimum. Pull the mulch away from the base of your shrub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWatering\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Give your newly planted Double Knock Out Rose bush a deep, thorough soaking. Infrequent, deep watering is better than frequent, shallow sprinklings. Always water at the base of the plant to keep its leaves dry. In the absence of sufficient rainfall (1 inch per week), hand-watering at the base of each plant or drip irrigation, such as soaker hoses, is optimal for Double Knock Out Roses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSpacing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Roses are healthier when there's good air circulation around each plant. Space plants 4 feet away from other plants, walls, and fences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContainer Plants\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fill pots with a commercial soilless potting mix instead of garden soil. Container roses will dry out more quickly than in-ground plants. Water potted plants until the water flows freely from the drainage hole, and then water again (if there's no rain) when the soil begins to dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We recommend using organic fertilizers when your roses are young. Specifically, the \u003cb\u003eBrighter Blooms Organic Planting Mix \u003c\/b\u003eis an excellent soil amendment, giving your plant healthy nutrients. If you really want to give your rose bushes a head start, include a pack of our \u003cb\u003eRoot Rocket\u003c\/b\u003e bio-stimulant. It is packed with mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria that would really stimulate the root growth!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePruning and Shaping\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Deadheading is a type of pruning that removes spent blossoms so the new growth can produce more flowers. It is a time-intensive task that's necessary to maintain many types of roses. But Double Knock Out Roses continue to produce new flowers without needing to be deadheaded. You can leave your shrubs unpruned throughout their growing season, and they'll continue blooming. However, a few snips here and there during the dormant season will help keep them looking neat and maximize their flowering potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhy Prune?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Double Knock Out Roses naturally grow 3 to 4 feet tall, but if they're never pruned they may grow slightly taller and begin to lose their tidy look.\u003cbr\u003e • As some branches grow, they may begin to grow inward or cross other canes, instead of growing outward, which is healthier and aesthetically more desirable.\u003cbr\u003e • Shrubs may grow thickly, reducing air circulation around the canes and increasing susceptibility to disease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhen to Prune\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We'll ship your plants perfectly pruned and shaped, so you won't have to do any trimming until the second or third year after planting. As the buds begin to break their dormancy, usually in February or March, they'll start to swell before the new growth appears. When you notice this, it's the perfect time to do any pruning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhere to Prune\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Find a bud that faces outward a small red sprout and makes a 45-degree cut one-half inch above the bud, with your cut slanting outward in the same direction and angle as the bud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to Prune\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Remove any branches that cross other branches, or grow inward towards the center\u003cbr\u003e • Remove one-third of the older canes each year.\u003cbr\u003e • If you want to reduce the height of your shrubs, prune all the canes to 24 inches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSpraying\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Because of Double Knock Out Rose's pest- and disease-resistance, you may never have to spray your plants. But if you see aphids or other insect pests in large numbers on your plants, spray insecticidal soap as an organic pesticide, following label directions. If a fungal problem presents itself, such as black spot or downy mildew, use a fungicide labeled for use on roses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWinter Care\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When your Double Knock Out Roses drop their leaves in autumn, rake and remove all the fallen leaves, flowers and twigs. This prevents any unnecessary issues from occurring. Replace the old mulch with fresh mulch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to Cut Double Knock Out Roses for Floral Arrangements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Take a bucket of warm water with you. \u003cbr\u003e • Select flowers that have just started to open; tight buds may not open completely and fully opened blooms won't last as long. \u003cbr\u003e • Cut the stems with a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, and immediately plunge them into the water. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to Extend the Vase Life of Cut Roses\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Strip the bottoms of stems to remove leaves that are in the water to keep the water cleaner.\u003cbr\u003e • Change the water daily to keep it fresh.\u003cbr\u003e • Dissolve a package of floral preservative into the water in your vase or make a homemade version: Stir 1 pint of a lemon-line soda (non-diet) into 1 pint of water. Add ½ teaspoon of household bleach and mix thoroughly. Use this solution instead of water when you fill your vase.\u003cbr\u003e • Store your cut roses away from bowls of fruit, because the ethylene gas that ripening fruit produces will cause the flowers to age more quickly. Although a bowl of red apples beside a vase filled with red roses may dress up your kitchen table, the apples will cause the roses to droop and drop their petals prematurely.","brand":"BrighterBlooms.com","offers":[{"title":"4 inch pot","offer_id":13669320458301,"sku":"15574","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":13669320491069,"sku":"13502","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 Gallon","offer_id":13669320556605,"sku":"12679","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":13669320589373,"sku":"13504","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45106003378350,"sku":"17856","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7 Gallon","offer_id":46227609354414,"sku":"19656","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/8532\/8445\/products\/Red_knockout_rose_BB_600x600_311b8812-d4eb-41ce-8b37-f7c50aff357b.jpg?v=1601473731"},{"product_id":"dwarf-cavendish-banana-tree","title":"Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet Fresh Bananas Anywhere in the Country\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\"\u003eThe cold-hardy Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree gives you plenty of tropical fruit,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eanywhere in the country.

Grows in partial shade or full sun. We recommend starting with taller trees in shady spots because they will catch more sunlight and grow faster. Although they're not fussy about soil type, and they prosper in moist soil, they don't like wet feet -- roots that remain in soggy or waterlogged soil. The planting site must drain well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreparing the Site\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Remove any turfgrass and weeds before planting Thuja Green Giant trees. Clear debris, such as rocks and downed limbs or twigs, and loosen the soil by tilling or spading. It's better to add organic matter to an entire planting area, which encourages new roots to grow outward, instead of amending individual planting holes, which causes roots to stay comfortably within the confines of the hole. If the root system doesn't grow outward to anchor Thuja Green Giant, it can't support the growth rate and mature size of the tree. We recommend using our Organic Planting Mix to amend your soil to the ideal conditions. To naturally add the nutrients your Thujas need to really pack on the growth, we recommend also adding our Root Rocket Fertilizer when planting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePlanting Hole Depth and Width\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Planting trees too deeply is a common problem with serious consequences. Dig a hole only as deep as the height of the root ball in the container, but at least twice as wide (four to six times wider is preferable). The root ball should be placed in the planting hole so the level of the container soil is on grade with the soil around the hole.

In the 1500s, French explorers took one of these native trees to Paris -- the first North American tree to be introduced in Europe. After a tea from the bark and leaves prevented scurvy on sea voyages, the tree was named arborvitae, which means 'tree of life' in Latin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Clemson Cooperative Extension includes Thuja Green Giant on its list of 'Trees of Strength.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"BrighterBlooms.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":14172426502205,"sku":"10082","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13669363482685,"sku":"10083","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":13669363515453,"sku":"10084","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":13669363548221,"sku":"10109","price":156.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":13669363580989,"sku":"10085","price":206.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":13669363679293,"sku":"11391","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/8532\/8445\/products\/Thuja_Green_Giant_Tree_BB_600x600_33b35905-5595-4f3f-b409-78a208c28571.jpg?v=1571152327"},{"product_id":"willow-hybrid-tree","title":"Willow Hybrid Tree","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Fastest-Growing Privacy Tree\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe Austree Willow Hybrid is becoming one of the most popular privacy trees in recent memory.

Austree Hybrid Willow Trees form effective windbreaks, especially when used in a mixed planting with evergreen shrubs and trees. Because they grow so fast and reach heights of up to 70 feet, Hybrid Willow Trees form windbreaks quickly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHint: \u003c\/i\u003eA strong windbreak is planted as a row that's perpendicular to the direction of the strongest prevailing winds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eControls Erosion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Hybrid Willow Tree is also called the Austree Willow, which is a product of a New Zealand plant breeding program. It is the result of crossing two willow species '– the white willow (\u003ci\u003eSalix alba\u003c\/i\u003e) and the corkscrew willow (\u003ci\u003eSalix matsudana\u003c\/i\u003e). Among other desirable traits sought, a primary breeding goal was to produce a fast-growing tree that would help reduce erosion on riverbanks. What this means to you is that this tree can also help control erosion in your landscape. If you have a steep slope that sends streams of water into your yard every time it rains or if you have a backyard pond or stream that overflows and erodes the soil during heavy rainfalls, planting Hybrid Willow Trees is the perfect solution for these problem areas! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTolerates Wet Soil\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wet soil can mean the death of most plants because standing water can cause roots to rot.

If you plant Hybrid Willow Trees as a buffer, the runoff is deposited in this zone instead of entering the water. This buffer zone is called a riparian buffer, and it's important for a healthy environment. Fertilizers may help your lawn and plants to grow, but they also promote excessive growth of algae in bodies of water -- depleting oxygen levels for fish. In a riparian buffer, Hybrid Willow Trees also provide cover, breeding areas and nesting sites for other wildlife. Even fallen branches can provide shelter for small fish and sunning sites for turtles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePlanting and Care Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Hybrid Willow Tree is a perennial in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4 through 9, where it tolerates winter temperatures to minus 30 degrees F.

And even if your HOA by-laws place a restriction on the height of constructed fences, you'll be able to bypass this restriction and have a taller-than-allowed green fence by planting Black Bamboo. As an evergreen plant, which retains its leaves year-round, Black Bamboo continues to breathe life into stark winter landscapes even after deciduous plants drop their leaves. You'll notice Black Bamboo will shed some of its foliage, particularly in springtime, but this is a natural part of the growing process as new leaves develop to replace the older ones. You can rake and remove the dropped foliage or leave it on the ground around your Black Bamboo plants as mulch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUnique, Dark Canes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Height, color and texture collide in a stunning threefold combination:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its sheer height alone gives Black Bamboo a dramatic stand-up-and-take-notice appearance among the other plants in your yard and garden.

If you grow Black Bamboo, you can harvest some of the canes to make these simple structures for your own Asian garden.

And you can even enjoy Black Bamboo as a houseplant in your sunroom or in front of a sunny window. Although the pot will help restrict its height, you may have to keep the top pruned to keep it from brushing the ceiling. Because it spreads by runners (underground stems called rhizomes), use a large pot to give it room to grow.

Cut five Black Bamboo canes and tie them together at the top, leaving the bottom ends free. Press the loose ends firmly into the soil at equal distances from each other, and sow seeds at the base of these legs. For tomatoes, you can make simple four-sided tomato cages out of Black Bamboo canes to support their growth. And if you have tall flowering plants that need support, such as dahlias, peonies, and gladioli, Black Bamboo canes make plant stakes that are as beautiful as functional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNote: \u003c\/i\u003eYou may need to tie your climbing crops or flowering plants to the bamboo canes or weave the stems through the openings as the plants grow. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHardiness Range\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Black Bamboo is a perennial in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 7 through 10, where its mature canes can reach 30 feet tall. If you live in Zone 6, you may still be able to grow Black Bamboo, although the canes can be damaged or killed during winter. A heavy mulch cover helps insulate the roots, from which new growth may emerge in spring. In Zone 6, where cold winters may kill the top growth of Black Bamboo, your plants may only grow to 15 feet tall each season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eControlling Vigorous Growth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Black Bamboo will spread, but you can keep its growth in check if you're diligent. The 'spring shooting season' describes the yearly occurrence of the new shoots sprouting from the ground. Most of Black Bamboo's new growth -- nearly 90 percent -- occurs during the spring shooting season, so this is the prime time to control its spread. The new shoots are softer than the hardened, mature canes, so it's easy to cut, mow or kick them down where you do not want the spread of new growth. You can also install barriers, which you press into the ground, but you must install them properly (and deeply enough) to contain Black Bamboo's growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSun and Soil Preferences\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although Black Bamboo grows in partial sun, it prospers in \u003cb\u003efull sun\u003c\/b\u003e.
