Bamboo

Add an oriental touch to your garden with our fantastic selection of bamboo. These hardy varieties require little looking after and will grow happily in the UK climate: great for privacy screening, hedging or adding a unique focal point to your garden.

Bamboo plants are becoming a popular tropical style plant in the UK and it’s easy to see why. An incredibly scenic bush that can add height, you can choose between clumping and running types depending on what vision you have for your outdoor space. We stock both Fargesia, the smaller clump forming bamboo, and Phyllostachys, the larger and faster growing spreading bamboo, sourced from specialist growers.

Have you had a look at our bamboo screening, too? Add an oriental touch to your garden with our fantastic selection of bamboo, or browse other ornamental species. We offer a range of colours including red, yellow, black, green, and variegated foliage.
