Fountain Bamboo, Fargesia Blackpearl

The graceful and hardy Fountain Bamboo grows upright green canes that change to purplish-black over time and arch at the tips. This evergreen clump-forming bamboo bears delicate green foliage in profusion and can reach over 12 feet in time. Black Pearl is a non-invasive woodland bamboo that tolerates shade well and will do well in a pot if kept well watered and sheltered from drying winds.
