Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Bisset’s Bamboo is a green-caned variety that makes itself particularly useful in the garden. This stately Bamboo is particularly hardy and wind tolerant, making a fabulous screening plant. The narrow foliage that cloaks its upright canes is evergreen, retaining its fresh appearance even in the depths of winter. Phyllostachys bissetii produces dense clumps of canes in its formative years, before gradually spreading to create large stands of canes. A superb focal point for the garden lending a tropical feel to planting schemes. Height: 5m (16'). Spread: 3m (10').

When growing Bisset's Bamboo in pots, choose a soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Repot the plant, firming well into the new container, then water well and position in full sun or semi shade. Alternatively plant Bamboos directly into borders in any moist, free draining soil. Bamboos dislike poor, dry soils. If your soil is particularly free draining, improve it by adding plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost prior to planting. Choose a sheltered position that is protected from cold, drying winds. Phyllostachys bissetii spreads via underground rhizomes so is best given space to grow. Alternatively surround the roots with a barrier to restrict the plant’s spread.

Feed and water bamboo plants regularly, particularly when grown in containers. Repot into successively larger containers as plants increase in size. Once bamboo plants are established, thin out any weak, damaged or unwanted canes in spring, cutting them back to ground level, and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant. Mature bamboos can be divided in spring if clumps become congested.
