Fargesia jiuzhaigou is a species of clump forming bamboo that includes many sub-varieties. In general, it forms a mostly upright 8’ - 12’, compact and dense grove of colorful canes and smaller leaves.

It’s slower to develop in Northwest Washington, making it a great choice for ornamental containers or a garden feature plant. ‘Red Dragon’ is so-named for the purplish-red color the canes turn as they mature. It can take NW full sun, although the leaves will roll up during hot summer days and unfurl in the evening.
