Our Clumping Bamboo Collection

Clumping bamboo is an excellent choice for gardeners who want the beauty of bamboo without aggressive spreading. At Maya Gardens, we offer nursery-grown clumping bamboo selected for controlled growth, attractive form, and reliable performance in home landscapes.

Clumping bamboo grows in tight, expanding clumps rather than spreading through long underground rhizomes. This makes it ideal for privacy screens, hedges, accent plantings, and containers, where they will not spread on you.  Our clumping bamboo varieties are suited to USDA zones 5–10, depending on the species, and each listing provides clear information on mature height, sun exposure, and cold tolerance.

With proper planting and care, clumping bamboo creates a dense, elegant screen while remaining easy to manage.
