Fargesia Rufa
(10 - 1 Gallon Pots Available)

Picture
Fargesia Rufa only grows to about 8 feet tall when mature, but is a vigorous grower, sending up many new culms each season. The new culms are orange / red and leaf out early in the summer, making it an excellent choice where its rapid growth is desired. It is an extremely hardy bamboo and one of the few hardy clumpers that can handle both the Summer and Winter in the Southeast,  It will still benefit from shade with moist soil.

Sasa Veitchii Kuma Zasa
(15 - 3 Gallon Pots Available)

Picture
Sasa Vetchii is grown for leaves that wither at the margins in fall, giving it a very unusual look of dark green leaves with white edges. For the most striking look, it is best used as a ground cover in a shady area.  Sasa veitchii will grow to between 3 and 5 feet but can be kept shorter by cutting it to the ground after its spring flush of growth.  It is also somewhat drought tolerant.
