About

Fargesia nitida 'Pillar' is a very upright variety, and makes a great pot plant. It grows 10/12ft tall with dark purple culms and small, dark green leaves, and the upright culms bend slightly in the top 2ft.

Planting and care

Best planted in semi-shade, but will happily grow in full sun. Plant with the addition of some organic matter and water in well. Do not let the plant dry out in the first six months, and after this if it's in the ground it should look after itself. Pots of bamboo will continue to need watering. The best food a bamboo can have is its own dead leaves and culm sheaths so leave them to mulch the base of the plant.
