A little about this plant

Campbell Bamboo - Fargesia robusta 'Campbell'
If you're looking for screening that actually looks good, this is the one. Fargesia robusta 'Campbell' grows in a tight, upright clump with olive-green canes and dark leaves - and crucially, it doesn't spread. It's one of a small number of bamboos that can be planted without any anxiety about it taking over the garden. Fully evergreen, fully hardy, and genuinely useful.

Native to Sichuan province in China - and, worth knowing, one of the food sources for giant pandas. In UK gardens it reaches around 3-4 metres at maturity, though it can be kept shorter with selective pruning. New shoots emerge in spring with pale cream sheaths that contrast with the green canes before dropping in early summer, giving a two-tone effect through the season.

This plant is also known as Umbrella Bamboo.

Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. More sun-tolerant than most Fargesias. Water well during dry spells - bamboo has a high water requirement. Feed with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser each spring. Avoid exposed, windy positions as the leaves can become ragged. Hardy throughout the UK.

As we're early in the growing season, your plant may arrive a little less developed than pictured, and as every plant grows at its own pace, some may even surpass their listed size. With the right care, it’ll soon flourish into its full, leafy self.

This bundle includes 3 plants.

Decorative pot not included.

outdoor plant FAQs

How long should I wait until repotting my outdoor plant?

Your outdoor plant will be happiest planted into the garden as soon as possible after it arrives, provided the ground isn't frozen or waterlogged.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for planting, but with a little extra watering, many outdoor plants can also be planted successfully during summer.

How often should I water it?

Water well after planting, then continue watering regularly for the first few weeks while the roots establish.

Will the plant surive all year round outside?

Most outdoor plants are chosen to grow outside and can happily stay outdoors all year round. However, this does depend on the specific plant variety and the conditions in your garden.
