This video is a spotlight for a few plants in the Fargesia genus; which is a cold hardy clumping bamboo. I’ll also detail the conditions necessary for these beautiful plants to thrive, running bamboo and when it may be better to grow subtropical bamboos.

If you live in zone 6, you will be relatively restricted as far as what species of Fargesia you can grow. As you get into zone 7, you will have other genera available including other Fargesia, (like F. robusta) that will thrive in your climate. As you go to zone 8 and further south, then you can start growing subtropical bamboo.

The best place to buy bamboo is Bamboo Garden Nursery, in Oregon USA.
