Fargesia rufa 'Sunset Glow'
Sunset Glow clumping bamboo
Fine green leaves spill from slender canes with orange-red sheaths, forming a graceful, arching clump. This evergreen bamboo provides movement and soft texture in the garden. Its clumping growth differs from the spreading underground runners of running bamboos.
