Golden Goddess Bamboo brings easy, tropical calm to patios and gardens with fine-textured green leaves and warm, golden canes that glow in the sun. This naturally clumping selection stays tidy and manageable, so you get privacy, movement, and a relaxed look without the spread of running bamboo.

Use it to soften fences, frame a deck, or create a calm backdrop near seating areas. In containers, the narrow leaves and golden stems read crisp and modern—perfect for courtyards, balconies, and entryways where a tall, graceful screen makes all the difference.

Golden Goddess Bamboo Care

Plant in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly the first growing season to establish; afterwards, give deep soakings during dry spells and let the top inch of soil dry between waterings in pots. Feed in spring with a slow-release, grass/bamboo fertilizer or a balanced formula to support fresh shoots.

Maintain by thinning older culms at the base and tip-trimming to desired height; avoid cutting into hollow sections mid-stem to prevent splitting. Mulch 2–3 inches to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.

Non-invasive, clumping habit; generally hardy in USDA Zones 8–11 (protect from hard freezes and drying winter winds).

Golden Goddess Bamboo Spacing

Expect about 6–10 ft tall and 4–8 ft wide (often a bit shorter in containers). For a dense living screen, plant 3–4 ft on center. As a looser hedge or accent row, space 4–6 ft apart. For a single specimen, allow 5–6 ft of open space so canes can arch naturally.

In containers, choose a sturdy 16–20"+ diameter pot with excellent drainage; place planters 2–3 ft apart for a contiguous look.
