I think if you choose the correct variety and container it I'm unsure what the issue is.
Do your own research but here is my shortlist when I was going to plant it in my kids Wendy House area:
[ ] Phyllostachys Nigra
[ ] Fargesia Robusta Campbell
[ ] Fargesia Robusta ‘Pingwu’
[ ] Borinda Papyrifera ‘Blue Panda’
[ ] Fargesia Murielae ‘Umbrella Bamboo’
In the end I found a near dead one (fargesia rufa) in the bargain section of a garden centre which I put in a pot to contain and elevate.
Thanks a lot for this Hugo, really helpful. I do actually like the look of bamboo! Especially as I’ll probably put a few big pots of perennials in front that will look good against it.
