Graceful Bamboo 'Gracilis', Bambusa textilis 'Gracilis', is a cultivar of the slender weavers' bamboo selected for its exceptionally slender, tight, and upright culms—ideal for narrow planting areas.
This bamboo grows 20–30 feet tall but with culms only 1–1.5 inches in diameter, spaced closely in a very tight clump. The culms are green, smooth, with long internodes. The leaves are small and high up, creating a clean, columnar look. It is one of the most upright and non-arching bamboos.
Bambusa textilis is subtropical, hardy to ~20°F. 'Gracilis' is prized for fitting between buildings, along driveways, and in narrow side yards where a tall, dense screen is needed but space is limited. Full sun to part shade, regular water.
