Fargesia nitida
Common name: Blue Fountain
Our Fargesia nitida is the new generation of plant material, meaning that it has been grown from seed. Our plants will not be flowering for another one hundred years! The young culms of the Blue Fountain bamboo are a waxy blue to white color. The older culms are dark purple to red. Mature plantings tend to have a cascading or some what weeping look. The foliage is dainty, elongated to oval shape. The Blue Fountain is very winter hardy, down to- 20ºf and ours take up to 100º f in the summer, but we have our beds in deep shade under the canopy of a row of Pseudotsuga menziesii, Douglas firs trees, getting only a little very late afternoon dappled sun. High heat mixed with high humidity would probably be fatal for the fargesia nitida, so this might not be a plant for those in the southeast states. New shoots branch out after 2 years.
Synonyms: Fargesia spathalea, Semiarundinaria nitida.

Bambusa multiplex ‘Alphonse Karr’
(bam-BOO-suh MUL-tih-pleks)
Common name: Alphonse Karr
We just love the culm color on this plant. It has some of the most colorful colored culms of all the bamboo we grow, that’s probably why we are always sold out of it! It’s golden culms have green pin striping throughout, mixed with some pink/red culm color when grown in full sun full sun. Makes a great hedge, screen.
Height x Diameter: 20′x.5″
Minimum temperature:Hardy to 12ºf-15ºf, although we have seen over night winter temperatures as low as 5ºf. Normal winter damage on all of our Bambusa is “die back” to the ground level. We heavily mulch with organic leaf matter in the Fall. Each year ours come back and grow taller and more full than the previous year. We treat all Bambusa as a perennial here.
USDA zone 9a-10, find your zone here Maya Gardens Inc – USDA zone map

Bambusa multiplex ‘Fern leaf’
Common name: Fern leaf
This is a great, tropical looking bamboo with tiny leaves. It almost resembles Oregon’s native Sword Fern, the Polystichum munitum. We have been growing it since the mid 1990′s and have never lost them due to freeze, even down to 5° f, but we mulch heavily in the Fall with leaves. It has yellow culms and makes an excellent hedge. It’s hardy to 12° F-15° F, but should be protected from very cold conditions. Ours easily came back from three consecutive nights of 9° F, even many of the culms leafed back out after dropping their leaves. Tends to lose it’s “fern leaf” look when given fertile soil and ample water. Any of the
Bambusa multiplex’s would do well in the southern United States. Any of our Bambusa multiplex would make a nice addition to an interiorscape.

Bambusa multiplex ‘Golden Goddess’
Common name: Golden Goddess
This is a tropical bamboo with a thick, clumping habit. It is probably the least hardiest of all the Multiplex clumping bamboo that we grow. Though it is supposed to hardy to 12º f-15º f, we’ve seen ours take three nights of 9ºf, plus a week of solid freezing and still come back up from the roots, though much slower than the others. We do mulch our Multiplex heavily with leaf material in the late Fall. New culms appear late in the Spring. We treat it almost like a perennial here in our garden, along with our Hardy Banana and Gunnera. In the inland valleys of the Pacific Northwest, it usually grows to about 6′-10′, unless given ideal conditions. It makes a great screen or hedge. Any of our Bambusa multiplex would make a nice addition to an interiorscape.

Fargesia robusta
This picture is of a two year old planting in one of our propagation beds. You can easily see how it is doubling in size from the previous years growth. It already has some shoots over 6′ tall. Fargesia robusta makes a narrow screen, being taller, more upright and more robust than some of the other Fargesia’s, particularly nitida and murielae. Ours are planted in the full sun, easily taking over 100º f. Dark green foliage and light green culms. New shoots are red. This bamboo adds great color to any garden.
