7 Reasons to Consider Bamboo.

We have a wide range of Bamboo available at our Nurseries in Seagrave.

We have both Black and Gold Bamboo in stock and here are seven reasons why you should consider Bamboo:

  1. Bamboo is a great plant to consider if you want to add a bit of colour variety to your Garden. Although its shoots start off as green, after a couple of years the shoot will turn to a jet black or golden brown depending upon the variety chosen. A great way to mix up the colours and add a bit of variety.
  2. It is a giant grass so it therefore grows relatively quickly in relation to larger tree or foliage options, so it is a good option if you need to fill space in a relatively quick way.
  3. Bamboo can be planted all year round and can reside in shade or sunlight. It is therefore a good plant to situate in small gardens that do not get all year round sunlight, or conversely in open space that will get a lot of sunlight.
  4. It is a relatively sturdy plant, especially for a Grass, so again it can be situated in areas where other more sensitive foliage will not prosper.
  5. Bamboo does not need as much attention as some alternatives when it is planted outside.
  6. Bamboo can make a very good house plant that will grow nicely if looked after properly.
  7. As Bamboo is a very robust and strong plant it is also ideal for planting for other uses, it can be used for fencing or flooring and is used in Asia in the construction industry.
So if you fancy trying out Bamboo, why not come along to our Nursery and speak to our experienced staff about the best option for you, or alternatively visit our website for more information.
