Description

A showy shimmering delight! This ‘Yellow Groove Bamboo’ offers an impressive display of colour that even inspires its name, with slender yellow stems zigzagging in patterns as they grow. A fantastic statement plant, already established on delivery and at least 2m tall.

Also known as Phyllostachys aureosulcata spectabilis, the canes of this tall bamboo are golden yellow with green margins. For even more beauty, grow this variety in full sun to see contrasting red highlights. With age, the canes darken to a richer shade of yellow. This variety forms attractive clumps, and thanks to an impressive height, is ideal for screening or dividing areas of the garden.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Keep these plants in check by growing them in pots; they will add great impact in large patio containers. Very hardy, they need little care, so are even perfect for busy gardeners. Just make sure your plants are well watered in summer and don't let them dry out if growing in a pot.

For a particularly striking contrast of colour, consider growing this variety alongside the dark, nearly black canes of Phyllostachys Nigra.

Supplied as an established plant in a 15L pot, ready to plant. This bamboo will arrive already 200-225cm tall.

Top Tips
Best planted in spring so that the food reserves in the rhizome are used to produce a good flush of fresh canes in summer
Care Information
  • Before planting, dig over the ground and add well-rotted manure or garden compost.
  • Dig a planting hole so that the rootball sits slightly lower, with 2-3cm (1in) of soil covering the original surface
  • Backfill the hole, taking care not to damage the young rhizomes, then water and mulch.
  • Water regularly and ensure that bamboo plants in containers do not dry out even in winter as the foliage is prone to wind scorch.
  • Give a high nitrogen feed in spring and apply a balanced fertiliser through the rest of the growing season until late August.
  • New bamboo plants can be contained within a physical barrier to prevent them spreading through beds and borders.
  • Divide the bamboo every couple of years.
  • In spring, remove any weak, dead, damaged or spindly canes, cutting them to ground level with secateurs or loppers, at the same time remove any debris at the base of clumps.
  • Smaller bamboos are ideal grown in a container at least 45cm (18in) across.
  • In very cold weather, insulate containers with bubble wrap or move them to frost-free conditions.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
