Himalayacalamus falconeri
candy cane bamboo
Description
Himalayacalamus falconeri, also known as Blue Bamboo, is a stunning clumping bamboo species valued for its attractive blue-green culms. Its distinctive culm color provides a beautiful, architectural element to the landscape. The culms are slender and upright, and its leaves are lance-shaped, creating a delicate texture. This bamboo is native to the Himalayas and is relatively cold-hardy. It is often used as an ornamental plant. Because of its moderate growth habit and clumping form, it's less likely to become invasive. To cultivate Himalayacalamus falconeri, it is best to plant it in well-draining soil and provide partial to full sun exposure. Regular watering is recommended, especially during dry periods. Pruning can help to maintain its shape and promote denser growth, and is less aggressive than some other species.
