Bush form. | Dendrocalumus "Thai Black Asper Bamboo"
Thai Black Asper Bamboo is probably the best black bamboo to grow in cooler climates such as South East Australia. Its attractive black stalks are streaked with green. However it is the largest black bamboo out and is quite vigorous, so allow it plenty of space.
Black Asper Bamboo stands up to cold much better than other black bamboos. Great as a screen or wall on larger properties, this black beauty can reach heights of 25 metres!
8" pot size, approximately 3ft in height. | Rosa banksiae
The Banksia Rose is a tough evergreen climbing rose with soft ruffled yellow flowers which appear in Spring. Like Iceberg Roses, it's prized as a disease resistant and hardy rose. It works well as a groundcover rose or a climber when given a support such as a trellis.
The Banksia rose is an incredibly useful and versatile climber or groundcover as it is low maintenance, thornless and tolerates full sun and part shade.
