FARGESIA NITIDA JIUZHAIGOU 'Black Cherry'

Also known as Jiuzhaigou 4,  Chinese Fountain Bamboo.

With striking dark green foliage and deep red stems, this vigorous fountain bamboo creates year-round visual interest in any garden setting. The upright, bushy clumps of slender dark brown to near-black stems are clothed in delicate, narrow leaves, forming an elegant architectural presence. Perfect as a standalone specimen in a pot or container, or use it to create an informal screen or hedge. Though it sheds some leaves in winter, its distinctive stem colouring remains a decorative feature throughout the seasons. Ideal for adding structure and drama to borders, patios, and contemporary garden designs.
