Description
- Canes turn golden-yellow in sun
- Fast-growing bamboo
- Less invasive than other Phyllostachys bamboos
- Makes a good hedge or screening plant
Fast-growing Phyllostachys aurea (golden bamboo) makes an elegant hedge or screening plant, with its tall, graceful green canes turning golden yellow when grown in full sun. The lush yellow-green foliage contrasts well with the colourful canes, adding life and movement to the garden as they flutter in the breeze. This striking bamboo holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Although it’s a running bamboo, Phyllostachys aurea is said to be less invasive than many other Phyllostachys bamboos, behaving more like a clumping bamboo. However, it’s still advisable to use a non-perishable bamboo root barrier when planting it in the ground, as an extra precaution to stop it spreading.
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a pot, ready to plant out.
Can’t plant straight away?
Place the pot in a sheltered spot outdoors and water regularly to keep the soil moist.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in the ground:
Dig a hole slightly wider than the rootball of the plant. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. When backfilling, mix in a soil improver such as well-rotted farmyard manure. Firm the soil around the plant and water well.
Planting in containers:
Choose a pot with good drainage holes. Place stones or crocks (bits of broken pottery) at the bottom of the pot to stop the drainage holes clogging up. Use a good quality compost.
Feeding and aftercare: Water regularly until established. To show off the stems to their best effect, remove dead and damaged stems in spring and strip the foliage from the lower section of the remaining stems. Feed container-grown bamboos monthly from spring to autumn with a balanced liquid feed.
