clump-forming
Spreading in tufts
Clump-forming describes plants that grow in dense clusters from a central point, spreading gradually outward rather than by runners or aggressive self-seeding.
The term appears most often in gardening contexts: clump-forming grasses, clump-forming perennials.
Such plants tend to stay where you put them, making them well-behaved garden choices.
