Add graceful movement, lush evergreen foliage, and natural privacy to your landscape with Fargesia ‘Rufa’ Bamboo, one of the most popular non-invasive clumping bamboo varieties available. Native to the mountains of Sichuan Province, China, this exceptionally cold-hardy bamboo forms attractive dense clumps without spreading aggressively like running bamboo varieties.

Its arching green canes and soft, fine-textured foliage create a tranquil, tropical appearance while remaining well-behaved in the garden. Fargesia ‘Rufa’ is among the earliest bamboo varieties to send up new shoots in spring, providing fresh growth and vibrant color early in the season.

Perfect for privacy screens, woodland gardens, Asian-inspired landscapes, container plantings, and property borders, this versatile bamboo offers year-round beauty with minimal maintenance. These healthy plants are shipped established in 1 gallon nursery pots and are ready to thrive in your landscape.

✔️ 1 live Fargesia ‘Rufa’ Bamboo
