Karen and I bought what we thought was some clumping bamboo. For several years we kept it planted near our pond where it did ok but never flourished and certainly never bloomed. Then, we got another plant and moved our clumping bamboo to another location near the water garden. It did well for you a year and then imagine our surprise when it bloomed this spring. Our clumping bamboo was not clumping bamboo at all but a Japanese Fantail Pussy Willow. The lesson we learned is that if a plant isn't doing well in one spot, it might be that it is not getting proper care or you don't live in a climate zone where it will do well. But, it could be that the plant needs to be in a different location.
