Anyone growing these?

I'm still out shopping!
Re: Blue bamboo New Century
I'm jealous
I adore Fargesias, so well behaved, never seen the blue ones though!

Yes all from Hampsons, fresh in. Although nothing else new, good sized cordys for £20.
Cheers for the heads up about the Mahonia, I picked one up last week.
Not really I think I'll have to wait for mature culms to develop next year.Adam D wrote:Great value finds!

Re: Blue bamboo New Century
VERY interested to see if the culms color up as the pics shows..if they do I'll take a division or 2 . Ive always wondered if candy cane bamboo and chocolate bamboo color up as they say also..great buys even if they don't. Bamboo just isnt for sale like that here in the states
Re: Blue bamboo New Century
Great buys Kris
Mike i'll get some pics of my Jiuzhaigou soon and show you the colouration

Re: Blue bamboo New Century
I don't know the name of this bamboo renae tagged me in her picture a few years ago now on facebook, but this looks to be a blue bamboo. It is very impressive. I wonder if you have the same one kris?
EDIT: She did mention the name sorry. Old Hamii
