Default bamboo/grass screen?


I have never taken much notice of bamboos or tall grasses I'm afraid so
I wonder if anyone can help me decide which bamboos or grasses would
make an effective screen in pots at the end of my son's small garden?
Don't need anything too dense just enough to hide the brambles in the
garden behind.

I'd prefer to keep them in pots now that I've pea shingled the area.
I have looked up Phyllostacus etc but there seems to be conflicting
advice about those that are thugs and those that will stay in pots
happily for a year or two.

Height doesn't need to be more than 5 foot when mature if that makes for
a wider choice.
