Fargesia robusta (Clumping Bamboo) * Full sun partial shade * Zone 7-9 * 12-15' tall New shoots that are hairy and rusty red upon emergence from the ground in early spring!! Beautiful checker board color pattern on new shoots! Drought Tolerant, Low Maintenance! One Fargesia robusta plant. Plants are about 3 feet tall now and are very fast growing. Fargesia robusta is a good choice for a clumping bamboo that can create a narrow screen, being taller, more upright, and more robust than Fargesia nitida and Fargesia murielae. This species has dark green foliage and light green culms, with new shoots that are hairy and rusty red upon emergence from the ground in early spring. The culm sheaths persist and soon fade to a light color, almost white, giving the culms a very attractive checkerboard look in the spring through early summer. This bamboo is more sun tolerant than most other Fargesia, but in a warmer climate it would prefer protection from the hot afternoon sun. We have one growing in full sun that has never shown any sign of leaf burn. It is more compact than one would be with shade (about 10 feet tall), and a slightly lighter shade of green. You will receive 3-4 foot tall fast growing plants. Plants are shipped semi bare root to save on Priority Mail shipping fee. Companion Plants: Goes well with Variegated Japanese Forest Grass, Zebra Grass, and 'Bloodgood' Japanese Maple. Check out our store to find these and other great plants!
