Well, I'm sure P. Atrovaginata would do well, same with P. bisetti, and p. aureosulcata (those are the ones that I am growing and have survived so far). I also have a p. nigra (henon) that survives, but barely spreads because it's technically zone 7. If it goes below 0, the tops die off, but it comes back next year. I have a plant that I put in the ground in 2002, and it's spread maybe 8 feet now (2008).

I have black bamboo and vargated green and yellow bamboo growing in southwest mo.
