C.O.S Design Pretty hard to kill. Just require well drained soil. They love sun but are a tropical plant so will survive in most conditions.

paulandanna Bamboo, very pretty but does the leaves shed alot?

10 months ago · Like

C.O.S Design Yes, All bamboo drop a lot of leaves but in some projects the pros outweigh the cons. The screening properties of the bamboo blocking out the house behind whilst enforcing the contemporary Asiatic theme was well worth it.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Marianne Lipanovich to Spectacular Landscape Lights Dazzle in the Dark

While the previous garden was large and extravagant, a smaller space also benefits from a little color. This accent lighting draws attention to the seating area at the far end of the garden and breaks up the otherwise monochromatic look.
