Need a Hedge in a Hurry?

With Spring hopefully just around the corner, now is the time to start planning your garden projects. Bamboo is an ideal plant for hedging or screening as it is evergreen, fast growing and contrary to common belief is well behaved if the correct variety is chosen. Why not try our great value Fargesia Dracocephala (Dragon Bamboo) Hedging Bundle - SAVING £5 per plant, that's 25% off the usual £20. This bundle contains 10 no. 3L plants which planted at approximately 1m spacings will form a dense 10m / 30ft long hedge, growing to approx 3m high. The Fargesia bamboo are true clump formers and therefore even suitable for the smallest of gardens.

Planting a Bamboo Landscape

If your looking to plant a Bamboo Landscape a great tip to achieve the ultimate Bamboo Grove is to plant your area in groups of three plants. Plant each bamboo approx 1 - 2m apart & you'll be sure to achieve a sizeable clump in approx 2 years.

Our favourite plants to use for forming a grove are Chimonobambusa Tumidissinoda, Phyllostachys Glauca, Phyllostachys Vivax, Phyllostachys Vivax Aureocaulis, Phyllostachys Vivax Huagwenzhu & Phyllostachys Nigra Punctata.

The same can be achieved with many other bamboo plants such as any of the Fargesia varieties for dense clumps or any of the Sasa varieties for ground cover.
