Bamboo & other possibilities

Could anyone give me ideas for evergreen plants in large 4-6 ft deep concrete planter pots which I have had made for the side of my driveway for screening purposes.  They are rubber paint lined and have drainage holes.  I have considered Arizonica Fastigata but I am getting a little worried about this idea as they ones I have seen are very brown and tatty. Certainly at this time of the year, anyway. A suggestion of Bamboo has been made to me and I am wondering about suitablity, height, problems etc.  I know they will need plenty of water. Are there any particular varieties with nice colours,stay in leaf and  which might have a good chance of growing successfully here in the hot dry summer of the Costa Blanca.
Thank you
Pamela
