• Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Florida Foliage.

• Nicknamed the Hedge Bamboo or Clumping Bamboo, Multiplex is a fast grower that forms into a dense living wall. But it’s so versatile that you can grow it as an exotic privacy fence or plant it in a container on your patio. Its dense, clumping growth makes it well-suited to hedging along borders, driveways, and beyond. And unlike many other bamboo varieties, it’s non-invasive.
• No matter where it grows, the yellowish-green Multiplex is perfect for creating a secluded, island-inspired retreat. You can keep it at your desired height easily by pruning just once yearly, meaning you won’t have to continuously trim your Multiplex to get the look you want. And since it’s drought-tolerant, the rain takes care of the watering for you.
• It is no longer a surprise that bamboo is becoming more and more popular for home owners and their various landscaping projects, as well as for their indoor décor. However, what may be still surprising for those of you who don’t know too much about this plant, is the number of species that exist. For now, we’ll introduce you the Multiplex Hedge Bamboo, which is one of the fastest growing and most reliable clumping bamboo species that we have.
• Multiplex Hedge Bamboo, like most bamboo, loves water. However, bamboo is not a plant that enjoys ‘wet feet’. Being located in standing water or permanently boggy soil can quickly lead to root rot and the death of your bamboo. When choosing a location for your bamboo, it is important to choose and area that receives plenty of water, yet is not subject to standing water. It is also important to ensure that your soil provides plenty of drainage.
