Campbell Bamboo - Fargesia robusta 'Campbell'
If you've ever wanted screening that actually looks good, this is it. 'Campbell' grows in a tight, upright clump with olive-green canes and dark leaves, and crucially it doesn't spread. It's one of a small number of bamboos you can plant without any anxiety about it taking over the garden. Fully evergreen, fully hardy, and genuinely useful.
Native to Sichuan province in China and one of the food sources for giant pandas. In UK gardens it reaches around 3 to 4 metres at maturity but can be kept shorter with selective pruning. New shoots emerge in spring with pale cream sheaths that contrast beautifully with the green canes before dropping in early summer.
This plant is also known as Umbrella Bamboo.
Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. More sun-tolerant than most Fargesias. Water well during dry spells as bamboo has a high water requirement. Feed with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser each spring. Avoid exposed, windy positions as the leaves can become ragged. Hardy throughout the UK.
Decorative pot not included.
