Yushania maculata

Very distinctive upright blue-grey canes, eventually becoming olive green.

Height 10 to 12ft.(3.5m).

Glossy narrow leaves.

Moderately spreading.

Suitable for sun or light shade.

Has tolerated -20C. 

A fairly recent introduction from Yunnan where it grows at 6,000 to 11,000 feet.

The willowy leaves and unusual colouration of the culms provide a very effective contrast with other species.

An excellent specimen plant where space is available. Also has good potential for use in containers.

Could make a good low screen if controlled.
