Temple Bamboo 'Kewensis'

'Kewensis' is a beautiful and refined clump-forming bamboo, known for its slender, upright culms that mature to a reddish-purple hue, contrasting elegantly with its delicate, grey-green leaves. It forms a graceful, upright clump, typically reaching 3-4m in height and 1.5-2m in spread. This bamboo is hardy in the UK (H5) and performs best in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Its non-invasive nature makes it ideal for screens, specimen planting, or adding architectural height to a border without fear of aggressive spread. 'Kewensis' offers year-round evergreen interest and a sophisticated presence.
