Do you get lower than -15 degrees C? If not, P Pubescence will grow. P Vivax will only take -5 degrees C.

Pubescence starts off forming a nice bamboos screen, but eventually forms a giant timber bamboo plantation, which if managed wll remains narrow like a hedge, of culms up to 4 inches wide! The shoots you cut off to keep it narrow are edible and yummy.

My Canna tropicana always go to 5 or 6 feet. They get an early start though because they are frost hardy here and normallt dont full die down in winter.
