Nepalese Blue Alluring Powdery Displays
Each spring, new culms emerge coated in a fine blue-grey powder that highlights the planting beautifully. As canes mature over summer, a hint of blue persists subtly in their tones. This unique powdery “blue” display maintains a subtle presence.
Nepalese Ideal Growing Conditions
Grows 3-4 meters tall with a sleek structure. The partial or dappled shade suits it best, though consistent moisture allows tolerance of fuller sun. Position as a specimen or incorporate several clumps for a cohesive statement.
Nepalese Blue Bamboo Care Tips
Amend soil generously before planting. Water regularly throughout establishment as roots develop depth. Fertilise in spring and summer with a balanced organic formula. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage thicker growth.
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.
