Description

A superb group of bamboos that will make fine, exotic features in your garden. Great in pots as specimens or planted in the ground to create screening with their beautifully coloured stems swaying in the breeze.

This Bamboo Collection includes 1 x 3L of each of the following varieties:

Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra): Gorgeous canes that turn rich coffee-black as they age, contrasting beautifully with its green foliage. H4 m x W4 m.
Yellow Bamboo (Phyllostachys aureosulcata �Spectabilis�): Slender, arching golden yellow stems. H8 m x W4 m.
Green Bamboo (Phyllostachys bissetii): Often considered the best green bamboo, with classic green leaves and stems. H5 m x W5 m.

Top Tips

The hollow canes can be harvested to provide support for other plants in your garden.
Remove flower spikes to discourage further blooms as bamboos don't recover well after flowering.
Trim off the lower leaves so that the beautiful stems can be admired.

Care Information

Plant in moist but well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or part shade in a sheltered or exposed location. If planting more than one, allow at least 100cm distance between them to allow room to spread.
Bamboos do well in large containers, but if you plant in the garden, consider placing a physical barrier around the roots to stop them invading surrounding areas.
Apply a liquid fertiliser in spring and mulch in winter to protect the roots.
Bamboos can grows vigorously, so prune canes at the base regularly to prevent them from spreading further than desired.
In the spring, unwanted or spindly canes should be cut down to ground level. New shoots can also be pruned once they grow taller than the rest of the plant if you wish to maintain a compact size.
