The fargesia murieliae, known more commonly as the umbrella bamboo hits a perfect middle ground of being both practical and exotic, meaning that this plant is likely to fit in with your garden somewhere. Its sturdiness and growth rate makes the umbrella bamboo a practical plant for hedges and screening while its exotic appearance mean that it would fit in well in any exotic garden or as a standalone exotic specimen.Planting the umbrella bamboo in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil is recommended to yield the best results as bamboos dislike poor, dry soils. Plant in an area sheltered from dry winds as the plant shouldn’t be allowed to dry up before being well established. Fargesia murieliae spreads through underground rhizomes so should be given enough space to grow. However you can surround the roots of the plant with a barrier to restrict its spread.Product Specifications:Position: Full Sun, Sun or Semi ShadeHeight: Up to 4 metres when fully establishedSpread: Up to 1.5 metres when fully establishedSupplied as 2 x potted umbrella bamboo plants in 3.6L pots.Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
