Fargesia nitida (Fountain Bamboo)

Fargesia nitida (Fountain Bamboo) Details

Commonly known as Fountain Bamboo, this bamboo is grown for its weeping foliage that hangs around the narrow canes like a fountain. The fine foliage is mid-green and held deftly on the slender stems. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 80 cm wide, growing best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of moderate frost, coastal environments, and short periods of dry. Fountain Bamboo is commonly grown as a specimen, planted as a screen, included in mixed plantings, grown as an informal hedge, maintained in a container, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
