The Best Clump Forming Bamboo You Can Grow - Fargesia Guide

Fargesia bamboo are hardy non-invasive clump-forming bamboos with a more dainty appearance to their Phyllostachys cousins such as Phyllostachys nigra (Black Bamboo) and Phyllostachys aurea (Golden Bamboo). Fargesia mostly have smaller leaves and thinner stems and an upright frothy habit. Fargesia bamboo plants can grow from 1.5 metres like Fargesia rufa or to over 4 metres high such as Fargesia scabrida of Fargesia nitida cultivars and make excellent privacy screening and hedging plants that are extremely cold tolerant. Clumping fargesia bamboos naturally occur in woodland areas at high altitudes throughout Asia and consequently make excellent shade tolerant plants. They are however very adaptable and can also be planted in open sunny positions and are the most suitable bamboo for container cultivation.
