Nepalese Blue Bamboo gets its name from its origin and the powdered coating on its culms, giving them a distinctive blue hue. It prefers protection from hot afternoon sun.
At certain times of the year, Nepalese Blue Bamboo and Himalayan Weeping can be hard to distinguish. However, Nepalese Blue is slightly more sun-tolerant, grows taller and more upright, and develops thicker culms.
Nepalese Blue Bamboo typically reaches 3.5 meters in most conditions.
Check Our Bamboo Varieties
At Red Cloud Bamboo, we offer both clumping and running bamboo varieties suitable for a variety of landscaping needs. Clumping bamboos grow in dense clusters and are contained within the root zone, making them a great option for smaller gardens and containers. They require less maintenance while providing an attractive addition. Meanwhile, our running bamboos spread more rapidly both above and below ground. Without proper confinement, they can become invasive. However, running bamboos are well-suited for privacy screening when contained appropriately. Both bamboo types add an elegant natural element to landscapes when planted in optimised conditions.
