Love the look of bamboo and have had several kinds in the past. Last was "clumping" kind. The clumps will get larger and spread. Slowly, true, but it will grow and spread if not confined and kept in check. Owner of bamboo ( and OP) should keep an eye on it.
Good luck!
P. S. : It is a bear to remove if it gets overgrown, and be sure to dig out all the roots.
