Drepanostachyum falcatum Details

Drepanostachyum falcatum, commonly known as Fairy Bamboo, is a graceful and popular variety due to its attractive foliage and impressive screening ability. The fern-like foliage is held densely on somewhat wispy stems. It grows as a clump to about 3 m tall and 2 m wide and responds well to trimming which keeps it looking fresh and contains growth. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It will grow on a wide range of soil types, except extreme wet or dry, and will tolerate moderate frost and coastal conditions but should be protected while it is establishing. Drepanostachyum falcatum is commonly planted for privacy screening, grown as a backdrop for smaller plants, used as an informal hedge, included in a courtyard garden, or maintained in a container.
