Description

Phyllostachys aureocaulis (Yellow bamboo) has long, slender, golden-yellow stems, which form strange zigzag patterns as they grow, providing an interesting twist and instant impact! Not only that, but the stems have beautifully contrasting red highlights when grown in the sun.

A tall-growing, evergreen variety, it forms attractive and long-lasting clumps, so is ideal for hedges or screening – great for patio or barbecue areas. It will add an exotic element to your garden and makes a lovely rustling sound in a breeze.

This bamboo is vigorous and slowly invasive, so best in large pots, or with plenty of space in lawns, but if you are planting near a wall or foundations, remember to use a physical barrier.

It weathers very well in hot summer or cold winter. Very hardy, it needs little care, so is perfect for busy gardeners. Just make sure your plants are well-watered in summer and don't let them dry out if you are growing yours in a pot.

Supplied in a 1.5L pot ready to plant out or re-pot.

Top Tips
  • Remove lower leaves to show off the canes to their best.
  • Best in a large container, but if you need to plant in the garden, ensure that a physical barrier is placed around the roots to stop them invading surrounding areas.
Care Information
  • As Phyllostachys aureocaulis grows vigorously, it needs to be pruned regularly to prevent from spreading further than desired.
  • In the spring, unwanted or spindly canes should be cut down to ground level. New shoots can also be pruned once they grow taller than the rest of the plant if you wish to maintain a compact size.
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.
