I'm looking for some suggestions on a suitable bamboo to plant in the garden.
It must be a non-invasive clump-forming variety with a spread of no more than about 3 feet, and canes standing roughly 6 feet tall (that's about the maximum). In an ideal world I'd also like blue-grey coloured foliage and/or canes too, but that's not critical. I live in the south west, so the weather's relatively mild, and the soil in the garden is neutral clay.
Can anyone suggest some varieties that might meet my rather strict criteria? I realise that it may be rather hard to find in garden centres, so if anyone has an address for a specialist nusery in the south west, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance, Tony.
