Description

Dark and dramatic near black stems arch gracefully to create a fountain of fluttering evergreen foliage. Bamboo ‘Black Dragon’ is an easily tamed, non-invasive clumping bamboo, that can be grown in a large container or in the open ground as an eye-catching screen, windbreak or architectural feature plant. Over time, its fresh green stems mature to a rich purple-black, adding dynamic vertical accents and bold contrast to any planting scheme. Whether in borders, pots, or as a stylish backdrop, Bamboo 'Black Dragon' adds height, movement and an exotic feel to outdoor spaces. Ultimate height: 3-4m (9.8-13ft) Ultimate spread: 1m (3.2ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
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.
More Info
Feed and water bamboo plants regularly, particularly when grown in containers. Repot into successively larger containers as plants increase in size. Once bamboo plants are established, thin out any weak, damaged or unwanted canes in spring, cutting them back to ground level, and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant. Mature bamboos can be divided in spring if clumps become congested.
