Fargesia 'Gerry'

Better known as Black Fargesia, Fargesia ‘Gerry’ is a clump-forming Bamboo variety that stands out for its slender deep purple-black canes and lush grey-green foliage. Its upright growth and elegant colouring make it a striking choice for adding height, movement, and year-round interest to the garden. Unlike running types, this Bamboo is non-invasive, so it’s easy to manage while still delivering impact.

This hardy Bamboo thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial shade, making it suitable for a wide range of garden settings. Regular watering during dry spells will keep it looking fresh, and occasional thinning of older canes helps maintain its neat appearance. With minimal care, Black Fargesia provides structure, privacy, and interesting colour, making it a practical and stylish addition to any outdoor space.
