Most of these woody-culmed perennials originate either in tropical or subtropical regions, many from East Asia. Most are frost tender, evergreen plants, though some are from temperate regions and can take a hard freeze. Bamboos can be low-growing (like ''Pleioblastus pygmaeus'' var. ''distichus'') or very tall (like ''Phyllostachys aureosulcata'' 'Spectabilis'). Bamboos are popular as screening or hedging plants, as specimen plants, or as decorative ground-covers. The foliage is elegant and ornamental, and is sometimes variegated with green, yellow or cream.
