Dwarf Bamboo Fargesia rufa | Limited Release for Pickup Now

Hardy | Clumping | Shade-Tolerant | Deer-Resistant

Looking for the beauty of bamboo without the invasiveness? Fargesia rufa, Dwarf Bamboo—is a rare, well-behaved bamboo perfect for gardeners who love the look but don’t want the headaches of running varieties. Unlike aggressive bamboos that spread uncontrollably, Fargesia rufa is a clumping bamboo that stays neat, contained, and easy to manage.

🌱 Key Features

• Cold Hardy & Evergreen: Tolerates temperatures down to -30°F, often staying evergreen through most winters.

• Non-Running: Forms a dense, slowly-expanding clump that won’t take over your yard.

• Adaptable: Thrives in part shade to sun, with leaves that resist curling in bright light.

• Beautiful Texture: Bluish-green new culms mature to rich green with a soft, airy leaf texture—gorgeous in motion.

• Low Maintenance: Naturally deer-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, and easy to care for.

• Slow & Graceful Growth: Reaches around 8 ft tall and wide over many years, making it ideal as a specimen, screen, or shade garden accent.

🌿 Garden Uses

• Perfect companion for Japanese maples and other shade lovers

• Great for mass plantings when spaced 4–5 ft apart

• Works beautifully as a single specimen or natural privacy screen
