If you can pronounce it, then you sure deserve to be rewarded by the spectacular show of color in the intense red of the young culm shoots which fade to a soothing mellow yellow in this upright cultivar. One of the most cold hardy of Fargesias, ‘Jiuzhaigou’ will tolerate down to -25 giving those in colder regions an opportunity to enjoy its color and its ability to create a stunning specimen or border planting that is clumping, not invasive. ‘Jiuzhaigou’ prefers a half-day of good sun to give those young shoots their brilliant red coloration and will thrive in moist, well-drained soil.
