Fargesia denudata

Common Name: Naked Clump Bamboo

Fargesia denudata — commonly called Hardy Clumping Bamboo — is a graceful, non-invasive evergreen bamboo (grass) valued for its soft, arching habit and lush green foliage. It forms tight, clumping growth with slender, upright canes and fine-textured leaves that create a light, airy appearance. Unlike running bamboos, it does not spread aggressively, making it well-suited for controlled plantings. Its elegant form adds movement and a naturalistic feel to the landscape.
