Bambusa nigra 10 Litres
Phyllostachys nigra is an evergreen bamboo variety that boasts a rapid growth rate and can grow by 60-90cm each year. It has striking, black canes, which start off as creamy-green in their first year. These black canes make a beautiful contrast against the lush green foliage.
Due to its exotic, oriental appearance and fast growth, Black Bamboo has become a popular choice for tall hedges and modern garden designs seeking a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. Its arching growth, fluttery leaves, and subtle movement make it an ideal plant for creating a serene and tranquil space.
As a 'running' bamboo variety, Phyllostachys nigra can be considered somewhat invasive due to its ability to spread its roots quickly. Therefore, it is best planted in areas where there is room for it to spread, or in a pot twice the size of its roots, to restrict its growth.
When planting Black Bamboo, it may take a year or two for it to fully settle in, and it requires regular watering until established. Feed it every other year in late spring after the first shoots have reached their full height. This plant prefers a sunny or partially shaded location .
