Plant in a Box Fargesia papyrifera 'Grex' - Set of 6 Blue Bamboo

Fargesia Grex is a beautiful bamboo species native to China. The bamboo is very easy to care for and has an airy, tall growth habit and is not sprawling. The special thing about this type of bamboo is that the stems turn blue-grey over time, provided the plant is planted in full soil. The colour change occurs after a few years, when the plants are delivered, the stems have a greenish colour. The bamboo is hardy to around -20 degrees Celsius. Fargesia can grow up to 3 metres tall, making the plant suitable for a beautiful, dense hedge. The Fargesia keeps its leaves all year round and gives your garden a real oriental atmosphere.

Care
Fargesia prefers a spot in the sun or partial shade and needs moderate to plenty of water. Water the plants regularly in summer and on hot days. It is recommended to plant the bamboo 40-60 cm apart when placing it in open ground. However, it is also possible to plant the plants in a pot in the garden. Planted in a pot, however, the bamboo will not develop the blue colour.
