FARGESIA MURIELAE

*****

 

Muriel has a lovely fountain shape, composed of many thin culms which arch outwards to support a frothing mass of foliage above

 

Muriel bamboo began flowering a few years ago and thus dying off, but producing lots of seed

 

These gave an opportunity for new plants which will not flower again for maybe 100 years
