​

It has a weepy growth habit with delicate lush green foliage. Nepalese Blue needs a shady area or filtered light to thrive. The natural footprint size of the clump is 1mtr however this wonderful species can be planted into narrow garden beds or maintained smaller to suit your needs, down to a minimum of 50cm. It can be used as a delicate feature bamboo, or a light screening option in shady areas. Or, grow it under an outside patio roof or verandah! 

​

Clumping bamboo grow circular, so plant them the same distance apart as the width you have available. Eg. if your planting trench is 80cm wide, you would plant them 80cm apart to form a dense screen. The narrower the space, the closer you plant the bamboos together.
