Fargesia sp. 'Jiuzhaigou'

Origin: China

Height: 2-4 metres

Hardiness: - 25 degrees celcius

Exposure: Light or Full Shade

Use: Solitary Speciman, screening or hedging

The Fargesia Jiuzhaigou is a fairly new introduction from China and is still relatively rare in the UK (named after a park in Sichuan where the seeds were collected).

This clump forming bamboo has green culms when they emerge which turn slowly to a red/purple colour and eventually to a light orange.

This bamboo performs extremely well in semi or full shade and looks excellent in a container with its colourful qualities.
