This beautiful clumping bamboo has a bluish–white waxy coating that completely covers its culms. As the canes age the wax slowly comes off, revealing its true green cane.  Its leaf is fairly large with stunning blue undertones. Borinda albocerea grows upright to a max height of about 20 feet but we estimate it will only reach about 10 feet in select protected west coast micro climates.  

This bamboo prefers at least partial shade, but will also do well in full sun.

Due to its cold hardiness, this bamboo is recommended for select, well protected, West Coast Micro Climates only.

Fargesia dracocephala 'Rufa' is a beautiful and extremely cold hardy clumping bamboo plant from Sichuan Province, China. It is one of the first bamboo plants to shoot in the spring and has bright orange-red shoots that really stand out. Unlike many hardy clumping bamboos, Rufa is able to handle full sun without leaf curl. The tightly clumping growth habit, and ability to grow well in sun or shade, make Rufa a good choice for someone wanting a bamboo plant that is easy to grow with little maintenance.  Plant Rufa on 4 to 8 feet centers and cut out the top 1/3 height of the perimeter canes to create a compact privacy hedge.
