Phyllostachys Nigra

Description

Phyllostachys nigra is an elegant and unique bamboo variety prized for its glossy black stems, which emerge green and gradually darken as they mature, creating a dramatic visual effect. The plant’s upright, dense growth habit makes it perfect for creating vertical interest or a striking backdrop in garden spaces. The dark culms contrast beautifully with the lush, green leaves, adding both texture and a touch of mystery to the landscape.

Preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil, Phyllostachys nigra is an adaptable bamboo that can be used in a variety of garden settings, from naturalistic gardens to contemporary designs. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, it is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil types. Whether used as a specimen plant, privacy screen, or part of a tropical-inspired garden, Phyllostachys nigra brings an exotic, bold statement to any outdoor space.
