Fargesia nitida ‘Black Pearl’

Fargesia nitida ‘Black Pearl’ is an elegant clump-forming bamboo prized for its striking dark culms and delicate, cascading foliage. This non-invasive variety creates a refined architectural presence in gardens, providing height, texture, and movement. Its fine, arching leaves contrast beautifully with its deep purple-black stems, making it a standout feature in borders, screens, and contemporary planting schemes.

Adapting well to a variety of soil types, Fargesia nitida ‘Black Pearl’ thrives in moist, well-drained conditions and flourishes in partial shade to full sun. It is a hardy, low-maintenance bamboo that withstands cold temperatures and is well-suited to UK gardens. Unlike running bamboos, it remains compact and forms dense, graceful clumps without spreading aggressively.

Ideal for adding vertical interest, creating natural screens, or softening hard landscaping, this versatile bamboo is perfect for urban and rural gardens alike. Its fast-growing nature and striking appearance make it a favourite among landscape designers.
