Fargesia murielae | Umbrella Bamboo

Medium-sized bamboo with yellow-green arching canes. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast growing Hardiness: fully hardy This medium-sized bamboo has thin, yellow-green arching canes and a mass of small, soft, mid-green leaves. Its arching habit and fairly speedy rate of growth make it an ideal choice for an informal hedge, and because it is also compact, it makes a lovely, exotic specimen or container plant for small gardens. It is also tolerant of wind and full sun. Garden care: Do not allow to dry out while the plant is getting established. This is a clump-forming bamboo, but if you want to restrict the plant’s spread, plant it in a large container, or surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier.
