Plant Biography

From Sichuan Province in China this unusual clumping bamboo has a range of uses in contemporary gardens in the UK.

The species name ‘jiuzhaigou’ (pronounced ‘Ju-Zie-Gao’) translates to ‘the valley of nine villages’, a reference to a series of 9 old Tibetan villages that once inhabited the valley.

Grow it as a stand-alone specimen either in the ground or in a pot or planter, along the back of a border where it will provide an effective, dense, noise-reducing screen, or even as a hedge which can easily be trimmed to the preferred size and shape.

A beautiful, graceful plant. Quick delivery and very well packed

Amanda Duffy –

Super fast delivery, very well packed. Would have liked a few more canes but nevertheless, still a very beautiful and delicate bamboo. Thanks.

Lawrence Chong –

Great service. Great plant. Ordered largest size in 45litre pot so I had instant mature specimen. Glad I did. My gardener had to dig a massive hole to plant it in and he commented on excellent quality plant which was not root bound. Many thanks
