Fargesia are often overlooked in the Bamboo options for planting in borders.
Fargesia are clump forming Bamboos that reach up to 2-4m depending on variety making them an ideal choice for the smaller garden. Fargeisa tend to be upright in habit and provide shelter or an alternative hedging option in sun to semi-shade.
Many have ornamental stems and dense foliage cover. In the spring new canes appear with new lush young foliage adding to their ornamental value as plants. They are quick to establish if given adequate water. As with all Bamboo they do like alot of water which should be considered if placing in pots in exposed sites.
