Fargesia nitida ‘Black Pearl’

Plant Description:

This is an upright form of Fountain Bamboo with narrow, the canes arch at the top to give a fantastic, beautiful appearance. Canes start off green and turn a deep purple as the plant matures. It has a vertical visual pattern with dainty, glaucous evergreen leaves, making it perfect for an informal hedge in a partially shaded position.

The strong, rigid canes make excellent stakes and can be cleanly removed from the plant without using any tools. An elegant, medium-sized bamboo with whip-like culms that shouldn't be exposed to too much hot, midday sun during the summer months.
