Variegated Temple is a rare, premium designer bamboo for high-end landscaping. It is in high demand, with a limited quantity available. Only a few people in Australia have this in their gardens! Variegated Temple will naturally grow between 3-6mtrs in height in pots, troughs or contained narrow areas.  It can be easily trimmed down in height if need be (read maintenance tips here).

​

It has a vertical growth habit with short branches and an attractive bushy 'tufting' habit with its foliage. The natural spread of a running bamboo has no limit, so they are wonderful for creating groves or forests in acreage or large blocks. They are not recommended for planting uncontained in suburbia. Variegated Temple is the best choice for extremely narrow areas that require screening, as it can grow tall and thick in areas where a clumping bamboo can't spread out enough. It can be grown as a beautiful feature bamboo or privacy screening. 

 

The narrower the contained garden bed, pot or trough, the closer you plant the bamboo together. For more information, talk to one of our helpful and knowledgable staff members for professional advice on your garden circumstances. Different circumstances have different solutions!

Variegated Temple is quick growing and can be fully grown within 2-3 years, or quicker if you purchase more established sizes! Variegated Temple is low maintenance & extremely drought tolerant once established in the ground. However Variegated Temple grown in contained garden beds or pots and troughs requires regular watering.
