Sure, bamboos are beautiful, but who wants their entire backyard swallowed up and cast into darkness by a single plant that will literally break your shovel when you try to get it out? Well, hold on a a second, because not every bamboo is a running, towering menace, and there are many selections that will behave themselves as a tidy clump while providing handsome evergreen structure to your garden.

Join our Horticulturist Evan and special guest Tony Avent as they go over their top 5 clumping bamboos, highlighting a diversity of non-invasive options for all your bamboo needs. Whether you're looking for a graceful screen to block the views to your neighbors (without swallowing their yards, too), or a cute little accent for the edge of your Zen garden, you don't want to miss Evan and Tony share their thoughts and perspectives on these misunderstood plants.
