It is not a bamboo, but a variety of bent grass.

Hi,
I've been lurking for a bit and read some really interesting and
helpful stuff so I thought you guys would be able to answer a
question. While walking round a small local nursery they were selling
pots of hanging bamboo (no Latin name) is this really a bamboo (it did
look grass ish) or just one of those plants called bamboo (like that
awful lucky bamboo)
Thanks.
Ford.
