Fargesia Murielae Bimbo, (Arundinaria)
Bimbo has a lovely fountain shape, composed of many thin culms which arch outward to support a frothing mass of foliage above. This gives the effect of a breaking wave. The culms spread very slowly at the base, and after a few years give the appearance of a fat column. F. murieliae 'Bimbo' grows to just over a metre tall and is ideal for a low hedge or for planting in pots.
Plant in weaker well drained soil types. Full sun, Hardy. Protect from winter wet.
