Fargesia (genus)

Fargesia is a genus of tall, hardy bamboo primarily native to China and surrounding regions. Known for its elegant, clumping growth pattern, it does not spread aggressively like some bamboos. These grasses are valued for their ornamental appeal, providing dense, upright foliage that creates a natural privacy screen or windbreak. Fargesia species thrive in cooler, temperate climates and prefer well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Their resilience and aesthetic quality make them popular landscaping choices, especially in gardens aiming for a natural, Asian-inspired look or a sustainable, eco-friendly barrier.
