Heavenly bamboo / Sacred bamboo

Presentation

Although its name is fitting, sacred bamboo has no relation to the bamboo we’re all familiar with! It is a small, leafy shrub with very decorative but very toxic red berries.

Here at the four-star campsite Les Jardins de La Pascalinette®, we enjoy admiring its pretty berries in early winter, but in summer you will make the most of its beautiful blooms!

Its leaves are pinkish-red when they are young, then turn green as they mature. This delightful plant has lots of pretty nicknames including sacred bamboo and heavenly bamboo – a genuine lucky charm for your camping holiday in the Var area!
