Bamboos can often strike fear into the heart of gardeners, as some are invasive, but fear not, this little bamboo is a very well behaved garden guest. Fargesia is one of the best types, as it is short, has many small canes, and has a much more delicate appearance than more thuggish members of this family. This newly introduced dwarf bamboo produces masses of new culms that has a rusty tinge. They then green-up and unfurl masses of tiny thin green leaves, which are evergreen so last all year round. The canes are very slender and thin. They gently arch over, hence its common name of \'Fountain Bamboo\'. They are spectacular in big pots on the patio and an ideal bamboo for small gardens. They also form a neat, dense and easy-care, non-trim hedge, reaching 2m and no moreover many years. Just don\'t let them dry out in hot, dry summers, that\'s all. Otherwise, they require almost no care at all. Fully deserving of its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. Plant this in the garden with confidence for stunning displays for many years to come. Plant them where the sun can shine through the canes, or where you can see or hear the breeze gently wafting and rustling through all year - a very sensual plant indeed. The tree is supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot approximately 40cm tall (incl, pot), ready to plant out.
