Bamboo adds a refined touch to gardens or any outdoor space, with its graceful, swaying canes and rich, green or yellow foliage, making it perfect for screens, borders, or as a striking focal point.

Fargesia nitida 'Black Pearl' is a hardy, non-invasive bamboo, known for its slender, deep purple to black canes that create a stunning contrast with its lush, green leaves. This bamboo’s unique colouring and elegant form make it a standout in any garden.

Ideal for hedging or as a stand-alone feature, Fargesia nitida 'Black Pearl' can reach heights of 3-4 metres.

To grow Fargesia nitida 'Black Pearl', plant it in fertile, moisture-retentive soil with access to sun or partial shade, and provide shelter from cold, drying winds. If planting in containers, ensure regular feeding and watering to maintain its vibrant appearance.

Fargesia Nitida Black Pearl is an appealing evergreen bamboo with canes that are very colourful ranging from fresh green to deep purple and even black, they are clump-forming creating a denser hedge.  

Where should I site my Fargesia? 

Like many Fargesia, this adaptable bamboo tolerates a range of conditions. To grow fountain bamboo, plant it in fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-draining soil in sun or partial shade, and protect it from cold, drying winds. If growing in pots, remember to feed and water regularly, ensuring the soil retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. 

Consider investing in a soaker hose to help keep your plants well-watered without having to think about it, especially during hotter weather.

Growth and pruning  

Fargesia, commonly known as Chinese fountain bamboo, grows more slowly than Phyllostachys but forms denser clumps and remains dwarf, reaching around 3 meters in height. Ideal as a specimen plant or windbreak, it will eventually reach up to 3 meters in height and is easier to maintain at a smaller size compared to other bamboo. 

Due to its slower growth rate compared to other bamboo varieties, you may notice that you do not need to prune this style of plant as often. Prune bamboo to keep it manageable and healthy by removing weak, dead, or damaged canes to ground level year-round and clearing debris at the base. To highlight the canes, remove lower foliage by snapping offside branches or cutting them with secateurs. This improves airflow and promotes growth. In spring, yellowing and dropping leaves are normal as new growth appears, though some old leaves may remain attached, turning brown and papery. 

Characteristics 

  • Slender arching colourful canes (green purple/black) 
  • Compact and dense evergreen foliage

  • Can reach up to 3 Meters in height once established 
  • Winter Hardy, protect from dry and cold winds
