Fargesia ‘Red Dragon’ is a decorative clump-forming bamboo known for its colourful stems and refined foliage. New culms emerge with noticeable red tones before maturing to darker shades, creating contrast against the fine green leaves. The plant grows in a contained clump rather than spreading widely, which makes it suitable for gardens where a non-invasive bamboo is preferred. Its upright canes and softly arching foliage give the plant a light, flowing appearance that works well for screening or adding vertical interest in borders. Hardy in UK conditions, it prefers soil that holds some moisture but drains well and will grow successfully in either sun or partial shade.
