Alphonse Karr Bamboo: Unique, Striped Beauty 

Alphonse Karr Bamboo is your go-to plant for effortless elegance and privacy. This clumping bamboo showcases stunning yellow canes striped with soft green, creating a tropical vibe that transforms any outdoor space into a serene retreat.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Rare Coloring: Stems are a stunning gold with green stripes, bringing unique delight to your yard.
  • Natural Privacy Screen: Grows dense and upright, making it an excellent choice for hedges or barriers.
  • Low Maintenance: Thrives with minimal care—just water and occasional pruning to keep it looking sharp.
  • Cold Hardy: Handles cooler temperatures better than many tropical bamboos, perfect for a variety of climates.
  • Non-Invasive: Clumping habit keeps it in check without spreading uncontrollably.
