Phyllostachys aurea ‘Dr. Don’ – PHAD

Description

***Note: Unfortunately, all Phyllostachys aureas are going into a gregarious flowering cycle, which means all cultivars of the species are dying off (until seeds are potentially formed and germinated).  We are not currently selling it.  NOTE:  This is the case worldwide.  If any nurseries are selling it, unless they have germinated new seed from flowers and started a new generation, what they are selling will eventually go into flower.

Glaucous blue culms with denser wax than usual.

A new cultivar arising from a seed of the flowering ‘Albovariegata’.  The new culms have a thicker wax coating than the primary form and are a striking pastel blue.  It is not as cold hardy.
