Marmalade Bamboo 'Variegata'

Chimonobambusa marmorea 'Variegata' is a highly ornamental running bamboo, celebrated in UK gardens for its unique cream and green variegated leaves, offering a bright and cheerful accent. While the variegation is subtle, it adds a lovely texture and luminosity to shaded areas. As a running bamboo, it will require a root barrier or planting in a large container to control its spread. The culms are initially green, maturing to a purplish-brown, and are relatively slender. It forms a dense, upright clump of canes topped with its distinctive foliage. It thrives in a sheltered, partially shaded position with fertile, moist, well-drained soil, and is hardy to typical UK winters.
