Clump forming bamboo
Great for screens or accents
Non-invasive and very hardy
Fargesia rufa is an award-winning bamboo, with a classic weeping umbrella shape and young bright green stems that mature to yellow-green. The stem sheaths and side branches develop attractive shades of copper. Shiny, evergreen foliage is light to dark green, depending on whether it is grown in bright light or shade.
Unlike many other bamboos, Fargesia rufa is a clumping, non-invasive variety. Although it takes a little longer than running bamboos to fill in, it will grow into a dense screen that is perfect for hiding eyesores or providing privacy. Its clumping habit and medium height also make this variety perfect as a specimen accent planted in containers, or in borders, where you won’t have to worry about it taking over your garden. Moreover, unlike other clumping varieties, which tend to be less frost tolerant, Fargesia rufa is extremely hardy, as well as tolerant of heat and sun. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Maximum height: 3m (10ft). Spread: 1.5m (5ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
