Description
Fargesia ‘Black Dragon’ is an exciting newly introduced clumping black bamboo sure to become a massive hit with bamboo fans.With it’s deep glossy black to purple black canes, deep green leaves and upright clump forming habit Fargesia ‘Black Dragon’ has a lot to offer. We also expect ‘Black Dragon’ to lose around 30% of it’s lush foliage during late autumn, this is perfectly normal, and doesn’t in any way detract from its beauty. In fact it exposes the canes a little more showing off the deep glossy black colour. Fargesia ‘Black Dragon’ is tolerant of both sun and shade but should be planted away from exposed windy positions particularly if it’s in full sun. It will also like most Fargesia grow well in a container.
- Position: Shade to full in a sheltered site preferred out of strong winds.
- Soil:Most soils.
- Eventual Size:3-4 Metres
- Habit:Upright tightly clump forming.
- Foliage:Evergreen (will lose some leaf in winter).
- Cane colour:At first green turning purple then black.

Ordered online the evening of 1st Jan and the morning of 3rd Jan received a lovely, healthy good sized plant with plenty of beautiful coloured canes. Will be transferring it into a large pot and look forward to seeing this one grow and mature.
