Planting in the Ground or in Containers
Whatever type, size, or design of garden or yard you have there are plenty of bamboo to choose from!
The huge number of species means that you can't fail to find some to suit design ideas for your bamboo garden with different species being suited to different conditions such as climate and soil.
Some species are adaptable for growing in both the ground and containers. If you don't want to plant your new bamboo out just yet, are undecided as to where to site it in the garden, or if you are like me and like to move your plants around occasionally, plants in pots is an excellent idea!

Groundcover
Small bamboo can be used for ground cover, be grown in containers, or used as accent plants.
Ground cover plants help to retain moisture in the soil and can be applied to landscaping designs, erosion control, for under planting, and as a cover for sloping ground. There are many varieties of dwarf bamboo that are excellent for these purposes.
Please see my section about small bamboo for more information and a species list.

Container Bamboo
Some bamboo garden species suit growing in containers, handy if you haven't enough open ground space. This is an excellent idea, particularly if you are worried about the plant spreading, and it also provides a way of moving everything around in the garden now and then to create a different environment. I have bamboos and several large trees in pots too!
