The change in colour happens after a few years, when the plants are delivered the stems have a greenish colour. The bamboo is hardy to around -20 degrees Celsius. The Fargesia can grow up to about 3 meters, which makes the plant suitable for creating a nice, dense hedge. The Fargesia keeps its leaves all year round, giving your garden a real oriental atmosphere.

Care
Fargesia prefers a place in the sun or semi shade and needs moderate to a lot of water. Water the plants regularly in summer and on hot days.
