Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Spring flowers, followed by winter berries. |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Fall Color, Ornamental Berries, Waterwise |
| Problems/Solutions | Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Growth Habit | Upright |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Hedge, Privacy Screen |
| Design Ideas | Though not a real Bamboo, it is equally important to Asian-inspired landscapes. With its tall, thin growth and graceful bright foliage and berries, it makes a perfect accent in foliage-heavy gardens. Perfect plant for very narrow places, tight entries or beside gateways. Indispensable for courtyards, entry gardens and high-profile niches in architecture. Never outgrows its space, so feel free to plant into vine pockets in paving. Or, for a real show, grow in Asian-style glazed ceramic pots beside water gardens and fountains. |
| Flower Color | White |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Kohuhu (Pittosporum); Rose (Rosa); Creeping Juniper (Juniperus); Cryptomeria (Cryptomeria); Abelia (Abelia) |
| Care Instructions | Easily grown in average, well-drained soil. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought. Apply fertilizer in early spring. Prune one-third of the stems annually to promote dense spring growth. |
