Non-invasive bamboo

It is a well-known fact that many bamboo species spread quickly and can be very invasive if no root barrier is used. That is why one of the most appreciated characteristics of Fargesia rufa is that it is non-invasive. As a clump forming bamboo, you will not have to worry about unwanted spreading of this plant in your (or your neighbour’s) garden.

Hardiness

This bamboo is not just an evergreen plant, so that you can enjoy green all year round, but it is also exceptionally hardy. This bamboo species can easily survive temperatures down to -20 ℃ without protection. With severe frost, dry wind or direct sunlight, its leaves may temporarily roll and discolour, but a Fargesia rufa is guaranteed to recover in Spring with new leaves, allowing the plant to regain its lush appearance in no-time!

Best location for a Fargesia rufa

When it comes to its location, a Fargesia rufa is not picky. This bamboo can thrive in both full sun and shade. It also does not need anything specific from its soil. The only thing to keep in mind, is that it should have good drainage.

Caring for Fargesia rufa

Caring for Fargesia rufa is very straightforward. Regular fertilising from March until October will enhance better growth and stronger roots.

We recommend doing this about twice per year.
