Mexican Weeping Bamboo

Botanical Name: Otatea acuminata aztecorum

Mexican Weeping Bamboo is, as you can imagine by its common name, native to provinces in Mexico. It is a very rare and beautiful bamboo with black culms if grown in full sun. It has style and graceful fine pencil-thin canes and soft, delicate textured weeping foliage.  Easy to grow and very hardy as this plant loves full sun and hot temperatures. A true collector’s piece.
