Hardy and versatile, bamboo thrives in UK gardens, adding instant structure and movement to any space."
Peter McDermott, Head Gardener

Choosing the Right Bamboo for Your Garden

Bamboo is hard to beat for natural garden screening. Fast growth and dense foliage make it ideal for adding privacy or blocking unwanted views more quickly than most shrubs. For small gardens or tight spaces, choose a non-invasive clump-forming variety like Fargesia, for height without unruly spreading. If you like taller, more architectural canes, then Phyllostachys varieties bring colour, height and a more dramatic look.
Bamboo also grows beautifully in pots, giving you flexibility on patios, balconies and terraces. Growing in containers helps restrain spread, keeping your bamboo compact.

Easy to Grow, Low Maintenance and Built for UK Conditions

Once established, bamboo is exceptionally hardy. It handles sun or partial shade, puts up with a wide range of soils, and stays green over winter. Maintenance is straightforward - trim out old canes, water during very dry spells, and feed occasionally to maintain plant vigour. As it's able to thrive in both pots and borders, bamboo plants are an effortless way to introduce evergreen colour, height and texture to any outdoor space.
