Description

Mexican Bamboo is a graceful, clumping bamboo with a soft, weeping habit. Its slender, arching canes are covered in dense, narrow leaves that create a flowing, fountain-like appearance. It is notably drought and salt tolerant, making it an excellent choice for coastal or water-wise gardens.

A non-invasive clumping bamboo with an elegant, weeping form. The long, narrow leaves droop beautifully from the arching canes.
Notably drought tolerant and adaptable to poor soils once established. Also tolerates coastal salt spray.
Creates a soft, sound-muffling screen with a more relaxed, naturalistic look than upright bamboos.
Ideal for adding movement and a gentle screening effect to Mediterranean or coastal landscapes.

Faqs

Q: How do I care for it to look its best?A:To maintain a dense, lush appearance, water it regularly during the first few years to establish a deep root system. Once mature, it can survive on little water, but occasional deep watering in extended droughts will keep it looking full. Thin out old, dead canes at the base to encourage new growth.
