Fargesia sp. 'Scabrida' 'Silver Dragon'

Silver Dragon

Max/Avg Height (ft.): 14, 12

Diameter: 0.5-0.75 inch

Hardiness: 0° F

USDA Zones: 7-9, Not recommended for climates with a lot of intense heat or high summer humidity (including most of the southern USA)

*Please note, this is a shade-loving plant that may experience yellowing, leaf burn, stunted growth, or may perish with too much direct sun during the summer. Its sun tolerance will depend on your specific climate and growing conditions.*

This new bamboo has all best characteristics of Fargesia sp. 'Scabrida' but with a beautiful emergence of white leaf variegation in the spring shooting season from April through July.  Not heavily variegated, but does provide a nice frosting of bright foliage. By mid summer the white stripes fade to a darker bluish-green and look much like the parent Fargesia sp. 'Scabrida'. Discovered at Bamboo Garden as a mutation of the original plant. Gradually, through careful cultivation, the striping stabilized and now we are offering this unique new cultivar to the ornamental market. A shade-loving clumping bamboo that provides exciting colors and graceful, airy leaf texture. New Release!
