Description

Fargesia 'Moontears' Boobux is a remarkable bamboo cultivar that captivates with its compact and non-invasive nature. This exquisite plant is characterized by its dense, rounded growth habit, which creates an elegant silhouette in any garden setting. The fine-textured, evergreen foliage adds a touch of sophistication, reminiscent of traditional boxwood, yet it offers a significant advantage by being resistant to box blight. This makes it an ideal choice for discerning gardeners who seek both beauty and resilience in their landscaping.

The versatility of Fargesia 'Moontears' is truly commendable, as it excels in various applications such as hedging, topiary, and container planting. Its ability to tolerate pruning encourages a lush, bushy form, allowing for creative shaping and maintenance of its aesthetic appeal over time. This bamboo thrives in environments that provide partial to full shade, making it a perfect candidate for those shadier corners of the garden where other plants may struggle. Additionally, it prefers moist, well-drained soil, ensuring that it remains healthy and vibrant throughout the seasons.

Hardy and robust, Fargesia 'Moontears' is well-suited to the UK climate, demonstrating a remarkable tolerance to frost once it is established. This resilience further enhances its desirability, as it can withstand the challenges of colder weather while maintaining its lush appearance. As a non-invasive, clump-forming bamboo, it offers a sustainable option for gardeners looking to create a serene and luxurious outdoor space without the worry of aggressive spreading. In essence, Fargesia 'Moontears' Boobux is a stunning addition to any garden, combining elegance, practicality, and environmental harmony. Height: 100cm (39 in) Spread: 100cm (39 in)

How to Grow
When growing Umbrella Bamboo 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 Umbrella Bamboos 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 murieliae spreads via underground rhizomes so is best given space to grow. Alternatively surround the roots with a barrier to restrict the plant’s spread.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

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.
