Phyllostachys aureo. Spectabilis

Phyllostachys aureosulcata ‘Spectabilis’ is a striking ornamental bamboo with vibrant yellow-green canes and dramatic vertical green stripes. Known for its strong upright habit and architectural form, this vigorous bamboo brings structure, height, and vivid colour to gardens year-round. In colder months, the stems can develop a deep pink or red flush, adding seasonal interest to the landscape.

This hardy, fast-growing variety performs well in moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. While it is a running bamboo, its spread can be easily managed with root barrier systems or container planting. It is ideal for creating dense screening, windbreaks, or dramatic focal points in both contemporary and traditional gardens.

Phyllostachys aureosulcata ‘Spectabilis’ is perfect for adding tropical flair and movement to garden spaces, especially when planted en masse. Its vibrant canes and lush foliage make it a favourite among designers seeking bold, living structure.
