The Phyllostachys Flexuosa, as it's name implies, has a graceful, flexible, slightly arching habit.
The Flexuosa forms tight clumps of arching culms which are deep green in colour with dark glossy green leaves. This bamboo also displays attractive reddish culm sheaths.
This bamboo is tolerant of a variety of conditions and comes through the cold winters with very little leaf loss.
Works well as a solitary speciman and its light and airy habit make it a good choice for the smaller garden.
This bamboo is probably one of the best choices for pots due to it requiring very little maintenance apart from watering. It also works well as a low hedge as it generates a good number of new culms each year and regenerates quickly from heavy pruning and thinning.
