Decription:
Fountain Bamboo is what the giant panda eats more than any other variety. Thin foliage hangs around the canes giving the appearance of a fountain. Canes become deep purple to black. Fountain is also known as Mimi black. On hot summer days the foliage rolls up to protect it, but do not panic. As the sun moves on the foliage opens up. Prefers morning sun but will tolerant some sun good for pots and indoor with filtered sunlight.
