Auggie:
Hey, Im wanting to grow some cane for arrows,and keep the wife happy. Was wondering if anyone knew if its possible to grow cane in the garden and have it look like her other plants of decor? Or will it look wild and grassy,depending on type-species? Auggie.

MattE:
If you are referring to cane, that is in the bamboo family, definitely not! It spreads through the root system and ryzones will start popping up in all directions plus, it is hard to get rid of, once established. 

DBernier:
A friend of mine in Mebane NC planted about 2 sq. ft and it has more than doubled in size every year for 7 years. The patch is about 20 ft sq. Lots of arrows.

Find clumping type bamboo instead of spreading types. Trust me. Bamboo can be quite ornamental and look good in the garden, but can spreadlike wildfire if it's not a clumping variety.

1/2primitive:
What you ahve to do is get a liner, either plastic or rubber and put it around the place where you want the bamboo/cane to grow, the roots won't go through that.
