If you want a colourful evergreen that won’t take up too much space then the 'Twilight is a wonderful choice. This heavenly bamboo has so much to offer, but its foliage is certainly its best feature: new leaves emerge coppery-pink and mature to mid-green, but with prominent splashes of creamy yellow; new shoots continue to come through over spring and summer, so you get so much foliage variety on one small plant. Aside from the variegated leaves, summer also sees the arrival of sprays of small, white flowers, which are popular with insects.
The 'Twilight' maintains an upright, bushy habit and is highly versatile, so it works well in a pot, or in a bed or border. Plant it alongside another colourful evergreen, like the Nandina domestica 'Obsession', for year-round vibrancy.
