About this product
Fargesia (Bamboo) Mix – 3 Litre Pot
Plant Highlights: Mixed selection of clump-forming bamboos • Evergreen foliage for year-round interest • Graceful, arching canes • Suitable for screening and feature planting • Non-invasive growth habit
Overview
Fargesia (Bamboo) Mix is a selection of evergreen, clump-forming bamboos grown for their elegant foliage and naturally graceful habit. The variety supplied will vary. Leaf size, cane colour, mature height and growth habit differ between varieties, but all share the non-invasive, clump-forming nature that makes Fargesia an excellent choice for gardens of all sizes.
These bamboos bring movement, texture and year-round structure to borders, contemporary planting schemes and patio containers. They are also ideal for creating natural screens and adding a sense of privacy without the spreading habit associated with running bamboos.

Growing Guide
Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Fargesia grows well in full sun where the soil remains evenly moist and also performs particularly well in partial shade, especially in exposed gardens.
Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry spells, particularly for plants grown in containers. Apply a mulch in spring to help conserve moisture and feed annually to encourage healthy new growth. Remove any dead or damaged canes as needed to keep the plant looking tidy.
Why We Love It
Fargesia offers the beauty and movement of bamboo with a naturally clump-forming habit, making it easy to incorporate into a wide range of garden styles. Its evergreen foliage provides reliable structure throughout the year and works equally well as a specimen, informal screen or container plant.
Good to Know
This is a mixed selection. The variety supplied will vary, and cane colour, foliage appearance, mature size and overall habit will differ between individual plants. Only characteristics shared by all Fargesia varieties in the selection are described.
