Fargesia Jiuzhaigou ‘Deep Purple’

Relatively new to cultivation, this cultivar of the Fargesia jiuzhaigou has dark purple canes and delicate foliage.

Fargesia Jiuzhaigou’s stems go through stages of yellow, green, orange and finally a deep shade of purple. The best colour develops when it is grown in full, direct sunshine. It Is also a clumping bamboo (as opposed to ‘running’ bamboo) and is thus more well behaved.
