Donna - I was wondering the same thing. If that is true, perhaps I can grow it underneath something else?

Mark - Any chance of a photo of your Bamboo from possibly 8 feet away? I am a visual person. I need to see it to be able to imagine it in concrete terms. lol

I am going to put a small raised pond (water container) in one area of the bog. And I need bog plants to plant around the perimeter of this container pond to hide the black pond exterior. The container pond is 14" tall and 38" in diameter. (see attached photo.) I also thought of placing some sort of concrete blocks/brick around the exterior to hide the plastic as well. But this all has to fit inside of a 53" wide by 71" long bog bed that is right there against the fence. That only gives me about 15" of space around the perimeter of the pond within that garden bed. I am doing garden "rooms" and that will be the pond/water garden room.

Edited to clarify:
When I say 15" around the perimeter of the pond, I mean 15" LEFT (after placing pond inside this bed) from the fence to the wood edging at the front of the bog bed. I have more room on the sides of the pond depending on how I place it inside this bog bed.
