Bamboo

BAMBOO Problems with the neighbors, plant a row of yellow groove on your property line, it makes a great living fence, which will eventually eat half your neighbors yard. I think bamboos are best appreciated as large clumps viewed from a distance, the bad news is that unless you take drastic measures it will eat your garden as well, spoiling the whole distant panorama thing. You should also know that Roundup will not stop the creeping attack. The following are from Punnett minus their Latin names, searching for tags was deemed futile. It takes them a while to become established but do not be deceived, they are merely lurking and storing energy for the inevitable big run.
