Umbrella Bamboo Seeds - Clumping Evergreen

Elegant, fast-growing, and non-invasive, Umbrella Bamboo (Fargesia spathacea / murielae 'Franch') offers the beauty of traditional bamboo without the headache of spreading rhizomes. This clumping evergreen species forms graceful vertical canes surrounded by lush, arching foliage—perfect for privacy screens, garden borders, or container growing in modern landscapes. Unlike aggressive runners, Umbrella Bamboo stays where you plant it. It grows steadily into a tight clump that matures at 8 to 12 feet tall, offering year-round greenery in zones 5 through 9. Its upright form and soft foliage make it a calming presence in any setting—from shaded woodland gardens to structured urban patios. We grow Fargesia species for their refined look and reliability. They’re shade-tolerant, deer-resistant, and cold-hardy, making them suitable for a wide range of climates. And when started from seed, you gain full control over soil, location, and long-term health—without transplant shock. 🌱 Why Grow Umbrel
