Fargesia ‘Jiuzhaigou 1’ (red stem)

Chinese fountain bamboo ‘Jiuzhaigou 1’ forms canes that turn yellowish, reddish or reddish-brown depending on the sunlight. In the spring, the young canes are mostly red coloured, then the red colour is best in strong sunlight; in the shade or in less sunny years, yellow dominates. These stalks are a nice contrast to the delicate, green leaves. Graceful appearance. Good for hedging or as specimen. Ht 3.5m x spr 2m. Moist but well drained soil.
