Fargesia rufa 'Fountain' Bamboo Plant in 5L Pot

Fargesia is one of the best types, as it is short and boasts a number of small canes, so is far more delicate in appearance than the more thuggish members of the family. In fact, juicy new shoots are the stuff pandas dream of!

Relatively new, this dwarf bamboo produces masses of culms, as the new shoots are called, which have a rusty tinge. They then green up and unfurl with masses of tiny thin green leaves, which are evergreen so remain full of colour all year round. The canes are very slender and thin, so they gently arch over, hence the common name of 'Fountain Bamboo'.

Spectacular in big pots on the patio, and ideal for smaller gardens. Try growing as a neat, dense, and easy-care non-trim hedge, without exceeding a height of 2m across many years. Just don't let them dry out in hot and dry summer conditions! Plant where the sun can shine through the canes.
