Shade tolerant bamboo in south Florida

I hope there are bamboo that can withstand drought, as I'm purchasing a bunch of
Bambusa lako RSN.
A landscape architect suggested growing papyrus to replace the rock garden
bamboo. As long as the ghost of Morikami-san doesn't complain it may be a
viable alternative.
Bambusa Lako likes it's water.... likes it a lot. The Lako at Quail
Bot Gardens doesn't get enough water and it looks like crap. It is a
beautiful plant, I would love to have one myself, but here in So Cal
it would take a ton of water just to let it survive.

How deep are its roots? If they go down five feet they should hit water in
south Florida.
Thanks, Rick
