Golden Goddess Bamboo (Bambusa multiplex) - Description
This cultivar is a wonderful landscaping variety of bamboo. 'Golden Goddess' is under the 'clumping' variety of bamboo that spreads very slowly as opposed to a runner bamboo that can spread fast and aggressively by its quick growing underground branches (or Rhizomes). Golden Goddess makes a wonderful evergreen screen as well as a great container plant, for some vertical gardening. For the best look irrigate fairly often, even though the plants, once established, are quite drought tolerant, but can look a little rough if in a drying out stage.

Bamboos have a wide variety of growing styles, but the genus Bambusa includes species that are called clumping bamboos.

Bambusas do best in tropical and subtropical climates. Most Bambusas are hardy to 15F to 20F/-9C to -7C. B. vulgaris 'Vittata' is hardy to 32F/0C.
