Fargesia rufa - Compact Clumping Umbrella or Fountain Bamboo

Product ref: B11548

Availability: Out of stock

Fargesias come from upland areas of China and have thin, colourful canes topped by a fountain of fine foliage. These arching bamboos can be grown in containers as well as in the garden.

Fargesia rufa, is a newer introduction and is one of the showiest compact bamboos available. The foliage has an unusual blue-green glow. Slender green canes are banded with colourful sheaths that vary from orange-red to shrimp-pink, depending on the soil. In 10 years, Fargesia rufa will grow to a maximum height of 2. 5m (8ft), in a clump up to 1.2m (4ft) wide. This makes it an ideal choice for growing as a solitary specimen in a patio planter, or it is also great when utilised as a screening plant, with several planted together in a row to form a bamboo hedge!

Good sized plants, Supplied in approx 2 litre containers.

Fargesia rufa - Compact Clumping Umbrella or Fountain Bamboo

I recently purchased a special offer of 3 of the above titled plants. They arrived in perfect condition and have now been planted into my garden as healthy plants. Purchasing was simple, delivery fast and i highly recommend Gardening Express as a place to make online purchases.

Beautiful Healthy Plants

Plants arrived well packaged and healthy. Although delivery was not as fast as some suppliers, this was not an issue, order arrived in just over a week and communication was excellent from both supplier and courier. I will definitely order from gardening express again.

Lovely, healthy plant

This is the third plant I have purchased from gardening express and I can honestly say they are the healthiest plants I have purchased from any other website. They have all arrived well packaged and moist. The bamboo is a good size, bushy and a lovely bright green. From now on gardening express will be my “go to” site.
