Bamboo Fargesia Black Dragon 5 Litre 100/125cm - Brand New Plants: Bamboo Fargesia Black Dragon a completely new plant, introduced to the UK for the Autumn 2018 planting season. Black Dragon is a real non invasive, low growing alternative to Black Bamboo Phyllostachys Nigra. Black Dragon is a brand new Bamboo Plant, it is closely related to Red Dragon and Blue Dragon it has been specifically bred to form a non invasive rootball, making it a super choice for container planting. Culms emerge green and darken as tehy mature. Our Dragon Bamboo do not tend to do well in full sun, they are a great choice for a bright but shaded spot out of full sun. Reaching modest heights at maturity of around 3 to 3.5 metres, they make a great choice for pots, informal hedges or stand alone specimens.
What to expect: Your plant will arrive with an actual plant height of 100/125cm excluding the pot, it will look exactly like the pictures.
Dragon Bamboo have been specifically designed to be non invasive and solve the problem of Bamboo plants that will grow without planting in full sun. They will happily grow in pots and all soil types, excluding waterlogged areas. Best conditions are a relatively bright but shaded area, they will grown in acid and lime soil and require little or no maintenance. For best results we recommend adding a slow release fertiliser with a high nitrogen content to the container or planting area for this we suggest choosing Osmocote use approximately 6 grams of food per litre of pot, so for example if replanting into a 10 litre pot, 60 grams of food. And of course always make sure of a good water supply, Bamboo do not respond well to drought.
