Ghost bamboo transports gardeners to tropical lands with its lush foliage and magical seasonal display. Phyllostachys aurea ‘Spectabilis’ forms a tightly clumped, upright structure ideal for framing outdoor spaces or accenting borders. Its large, glossy leaves impart an authentic tropical aura, highlighted further each spring when new culms emerge coated in a mystical white powder.

Ghost Bamboo Abundant Foliage and Structure
While spreading more than narrower varieties, Ghost bamboo’s upright habit lends itself well to structural landscaping. Shape the clump or direct individual culms for your desired effect. Prune periodically to maintain the preferred size and encourage fuller growth. Its lush evergreen canopy provides seclusion and shade throughout the year.
Alluring Seasonal Ghost Accents
In spring, emerging culms coated in a fine white powder contrast stunningly against the deep green leaves. Over time, the “ghostly” coating gradually fades, maintaining visual interest through changing seasons. Very few plants rival Ghost Bamboo’s ethereal springtime displays.
Ghost Bamboo Care Recommendations
With rich soil and consistent moisture the first year, Ghost bamboo establishes rapidly. Once well-rooted, it proves adaptable to sun or shade with few demands. Monitor stability in very windy sites and prune to reinforce structure as needed. Its tropical lushness flourishes with minimal inputs, brightening gardens year-round.
Check Our Bamboo Varieties
At Red Cloud Bamboo, we offer both clumping and running bamboo varieties suitable for a variety of landscaping needs. Clumping bamboos grow in dense clusters and are contained within the root zone, making them a great option for smaller gardens and containers. They require less maintenance while providing an attractive addition. Meanwhile, our running bamboos spread more rapidly both above and below ground. Without proper confinement, they can become invasive. However, running bamboos are well-suited for privacy screening when contained appropriately. Both bamboo types add an elegant natural element to landscapes when planted in optimised conditions.
