Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for foliage. |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Waterwise |
| Problems/Solutions | Coastal Exposure, Deer Resistant, Drought Tolerant |
| Growth Rate | Slow |
| Growth Habit | Rounded |
| Landscape Use | Barrier, Container, Poolside, Privacy Screen, Windbreak |
| Design Ideas | This smaller Fan Palm is without a doubt the best candidate of any landscape Palm for night lighting. It tends to grow in clusters, but is slow enough to rarely outgrow its space. Plant as a single specimen or group several while young. Very cold hardy, this Palm makes the perfect focal point in a tropical garden that needs to take a frost. Also does well in the reflected heat and glare around swimming pools and spas. |
| Flower Color | Yellow |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia); Canna (Canna); Hibiscus (Hibiscus); Jatropha (Jatropha); Plumbago (Plumbago) |
| Care Instructions | Provide average to lean, sandy or rocky, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; prefers regular moisture, but tolerates periodic drought, particularly in coastal regions. Feed in early spring before new growth emerges. |
