Phyllostachys nigra Information

This mature, well-established plant will provide instant impact in a large pot (keep well-watered in summer; they are thirsty beasts), looks amazing on patios or decking, and require very little maintenance. You could also plant it in the ground where it will form an attractive clump over many years. It is also good for screening or dividing areas of your garden.

Plant Care Tips

Best planted in spring so that the food reserves in the rhizome are used to produce a good flush of fresh canes in summer. Before planting, dig over the ground and add well-rotted manure or garden compost. Dig a planting hole so that the rootball sits slightly lower, with 2-3cm (1in) of soil covering the original surface. Backfill the hole, taking care not to damage the young rhizomes, then water and mulch. Water regularly and ensure that bamboo plants in containers do not dry out even in winter as the foliage is prone to wind scorch. Give a high nitrogen feed in spring and apply a balanced fertiliser through the rest of the growing season until late August. New bamboo plants can be contained within a physical barrier to prevent them spreading through beds and borders.
