Fargesia rufa is a stunning Umbrella Bamboo, that is much adored for its vibrant green leaflets, compact growing form and elegant arching canes. Perfect for planting in urban, exotic, coastal and cottage themed landscapes, this gorgeous hardy perennial will instantly create a striking focal point wherever placed. Easy to care for and superb as an attractive hedge/privacy screen, be sure to keep positioned in semi shade and watch it thrive! Fargesia rufa is an award-winning bamboo, with a classic weeping umbrella shape and young bright green stems that mature to yellow-green. When growing Fargesia rufa in pots, choose a soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Repot the plant, firming well into the new container, then water well and position in full sun or semi shade. Alternatively plant directly into borders in any moist, free draining soil. Bamboos dislike poor, dry soils. If your soil is particularly free draining, improve it by adding plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost prior to planting. Choose a sheltered position that is protected from cold, drying winds. Fargesia is a non-invasive, clump-forming bamboo.
