Help! What is this and how do we get rid of it?!

We had a large planter built last year for some bamboo. This year there appears to be a really fast growing invader. It looks like another type of bamboo, but not sure?

This morning there were three shoots in the lawn that have appeared overnight! Meters away from the planter so we don’t know how it is spreading?!

What is it? Where did it come from? How do we get rid of it?

Thanks!

Pic to follow as I couldn’t get it to post!

You do have the planter stood on a hard surface like concrete or a patio slab, don't you...?

@MustardRose we do! That’s how I was baffled!

I’m happy it’s only bamboo, albeit different from what both us and the neighbours have, but going to attempt to keep it out the lawn by regular chopping and mowing and hoping for the best!

Thanks all
