This little gem of a hardy palm adds a new colour dimension to exotic and tropical gardening, with its steel blue grey fan palm foliage. The colour can be variable but is stronger in full sun. Reportedly even hardier than the plain green species, they originate from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, so get extreme cold there and will survive -10C in the UK once established. Very slow growing, so makes an excellent specimen in a large pot for patios and decking, requiring little maintenance in the year. Stock is limited at this price, and is rarely sold in this size, so please order early.
Transform your garden into a tropical paradise with this fantastically exotic Fan Palm! Chamaerops humilis (also known as the Dwarf Fan Palm) are the palms you will see growing all across the Mediterranean - and if ever there was a plant to give your garden a holiday feel, then this is it ! Despite their exotic good looks, fan palms are frost hardy to -5C! so will withstand frost but benefit from going undercover if the temperature drops too low. With their large round leaves that are cut into linear, fan-like segments growing abundantly in a round, compact bush, these Chamaerops humilis are perfect for pots on your patio, or they'll make a striking spectacle in a sunny border. Like all palms, Chamaerops are very easy to grow and love hot sunny weather plus they are drought tolerant when established so a great option for those who tend to forget to water now and again! Supplied as an established plant approx 50-60cm tall.
