Arundina graminifolia Bamboo
Arundina graminifolia Bamboo, originally uploaded by kelley5fm.
Went to The Home Depot tonight. Little family outing. I opted for the Garden Center as soon as we got there. As I was walking around and in total awe over the plants that they carry I came across this Arundina bamboo plant with gorgeous purple flowers. I decided to do a little research on it first before I bought it to see what kind of conditions it likes. This is what I came across…
“Arundina graminifolia Bamboo – Clumping terrestrial orchid from Asia growing up to 2m tall. Bee & butterfly attracting lilac & purple terminal flowers in summer & autumn. Full/part sun.”
The flowers on this bamboo are beautiful. I see that it’s a clumper so I am safe there. I’m not into runners as they can totally take over. So I think tomorrow I have a small trip planned. Yay!! This will help with my black bamboo grow project too. Give me some motivation. I love gardening. (:
