Fargesia (Bamboo) mix / 10ltr

Fargesia, commonly known as clumping bamboo, is a graceful, non-invasive bamboo ideal for adding structure, movement, and evergreen interest to any garden. This mixed selection brings variety in stem colour, leaf texture, and growth habit, making it perfect for creating natural screens, softening borders, or adding an architectural focal point.

Unlike running bamboo varieties, Fargesia grows in tight clumps, making it well-behaved and suitable for smaller gardens or planted containers. Its fine foliage and arching canes sway beautifully in the wind, providing year-round greenery and a calming, natural feel. Hardy, low-maintenance, and adaptable, Fargesia thrives in many garden settings and offers excellent cover for wildlife.
