Lipstick is a part of our unique & unusual bamboo range of which we have a small selection available. These beautiful species of bamboo are not the popular types that sell on mass, but rather the specialised rarer varieties for bamboo enthusiasts and collectors.

 

Lipstick is a feature bamboo for those that want to create a shady environment for planting with a tropical look. It features a wide canopy shape, and can be topiaried for great effect. It has a deep green culm and white and green variegated leaf. It tends to looks best with a yearly trim and clean out, to emphasise its beautiful shape. Without trimming it can fill out with foliage and lose the distinctive shape.

​

Lipstick is fairly quick growing and low maintenance once established. It is also very drought tolerant, but looks best with consistent watering.
