Becky- Golden goddess bamboo does not need a plastic barrier- it does not run. I have had it in a 12 inch garden bed for 4 years now and it stays put!

Does it need a plastic barrier as advised with other bamboos? We have a very, very narrow space (about 12″) along our fence, shared with a neighbor. We just bought some golden goddess . Now I’m thinking that maybe it should be planted in a deep flower box?
Hi Ken,
You will be safe with Golden Goddess bamboo. As a clumping variety, this bamboo does not run uncontrollably as the “running” bamboo varieties.

I am thinking about planting a golden goddess bamboo plant and I want to make sure this plant will not spread like crazy as I do not want it to spread to my neighbors yard. It will be planted about 10 feet from his. I just want to make sure this specimen will not trave as I have heard of other bamboo;s spreading like crazy up and down neighbor hoods. Please advice and thank you for answering my question. Ken
