Red Fountain Bamboo Seeds is a well-behaved, clumping bamboo whose new shoots emerge green before blending to deep yellow and then changing to crimson red.
This particular Fargesia is best positioned in a sunny spot for the brightest stem color. Ideal has grown at the back of borders or used for screening, this non-invasive, evergreen bamboo also makes a superb specimen plant for the patio. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 1.5 (5'). Supplied in a 9cm pot.
Feed and water container-grown bamboos regularly. Re-pot into successively larger containers as plants increases in size. Bamboos planted directly into borders will require watering for the first two years until fully established.
In spring thin out the oldest canes, cutting them back to ground level, and apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant. Mature bamboos can be lifted and divided in spring if clumps become congested. In winter, protect canes from cold drying winds.
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
