Phyllostachys violascens is native to China. It is a running bamboo that closely resembles Phyllostachys bissetii (the Green Bamboo). Both have shinny dark green stems, elongated leaves and are tall.
Meet the Phyllostachys violascens, a captivating member of the bamboo family native to China. This graceful giant, reaching heights of 8-10 meters, enthralls with its vibrant culms that shift from a mesmerizing violet hue in its youth to a deep, polished green as it matures. Its slender canes, adorned with lush foliage, dance in the breeze, creating a mesmerizing symphony of light and shadow.
Phyllostachys violascens isn't just a pretty face. This versatile bamboo boasts a multitude of uses. Its tender shoots are a prized delicacy in Asian cuisine, offering a delightful crunch and subtle sweetness. Its sturdy culms find purpose in crafting furniture, tools, and even construction materials, showcasing its remarkable strength and resilience.
While Phyllostachys violascens may seem like the perfect garden companion, its vigorous running habit, spreading through underground rhizomes, demands respect. Consider planting it within a rhizome barrier to prevent unwanted bamboo invasions in your cherished green haven.
For the bamboo enthusiast, Phyllostachys violascens is just the beginning of an enchanting journey. Its close cousin, the Phyllostachys vivax aureocaulis, stuns with its golden culms, while the Phyllostachys aureosulcata and its variegated cousin, the Phyllostachys aureosulcata aureocaulis, add a touch of tropical flair to any landscape.
So, if you seek a bamboo that's both breathtakingly beautiful and endlessly useful, look no further than the Phyllostachys violascens. Just remember, with this botanical gem, a little forethought goes a long way in ensuring its graceful presence remains a cherished addition to your garden for years to come.

I hope this description is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Always plant this bamboo within rhizome barrier because the rhizomes tend to spread quickly.
