{"title":"Bambusa","description":"\u003cp\u003eBambusa is a mostly tropical genus of large clumping bamboos that was considered off limits in our area due to our winter temperatures. After experimenting since the early 1990s we have found several selections of Bambusa multiplex that we can recommend for gardens from here (zone 7b) and south. The Bambusa cultivars that we have for sale are totally unlike the running bamboo (primarily genus phyllostachys) that you see choking out gardens, parks, and roadsides. Bambusa is a well-behaved, slowly expanding clumping bamboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo is actually a type of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/Ornamental-Grasses\"\u003eornamental grass\u003c\/a\u003e that prefers full to part sun. Plant your Bambusa in a well-draining soil and watch it grow (but not spread). Bambusa is deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established. Gardeners can grow Bambusa as a specimen plant, as a hedge, or in a container. At the northern end of its hardiness range, bambusa will die back in winter, but will resprout from the roots the following summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe strongly recommend that you buy clumping bamboo instead of the more common running bamboo types, which inevitably make a nuisance of themselves in your garden and in your neighbors' garden too. Plant Delights offers a nice selection of cold-hardy clumping bamboo for sale including bambusa, borinda, and fargesia.

The 0.5\" wide, upright green canes are composed of culms every 4-6\". From these culms, tufts of small stems emerge bearing densely packed, small green leaves. Because of its thick nature, Bambusa multiplex 'Fernleaf' is highly prized as a short, thick, deer-resistant hedge. When temperatures drop below 6 degrees F, the plants will probably defoliate and the canes will die to the ground at 0 degrees F. Our plants have reliably resprouted from 0 degrees several times over the last 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21001398469,"sku":"1829","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Bambusa-multiplex-Fernleaf.i-1829.s-68698.r-1_f9ad1855-809d-4d09-b427-c57c5ef8b68b.jpg?v=1790708512"},{"product_id":"bambusa-multiplex-riviereorum","title":"Bambusa multiplex Riviereorum","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe have long adored this heat-loving, deer-resistant, fine-leaf \u003ca title=\"clumping bamboo for sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/clumping-bamboo-plants\"\u003eclumping bamboo\u003c\/a\u003e and still find it strangely underused in southeastern gardens.
