Bamboo Fargesia Rufa 2 Litre: Fargesia Rufa is one of the first shooting Bamboo of the year this coupled with its vigorous growth rate, giving numerous new culms annually make it an ideal choice for a growing Bamboo, it is one of the lower growing varieties, only reaching an absolute maximum of 3 metres although is only likely acheived in optimum conditions and a height of 2m is a more realistic target. Ideal for pots and borders, ensure a good water supply during the active growing season.  Can be used as a stand alone specimen, pot planted, or because of its draping nature to create an informal hedge.

Bamboo Fargesia can be planted in any free draining soil damp soil and sheltered from cold strong winter winds. In early spring feed with a liquid food with a high nitrogen content, this will help promote new growth and give the plant a boost after the dormant period. In summer a slow release fertiliser is preferable. As with most plants, especially Bamboo always ensure the plant has an adequate water supply especially when planted in a container. This Bamboo requires no special treatment or requirements during the winter months.
