A collection of 40 hardy palms to try growing at home or give as a unique gift
Washingtonia Robusta (Mexican Fan Palm) – Hardy to -6ºC. (qty:10)
A fairly easy Palm to raise from seed and ideal beginners palm growing at a medium rate. Mature plants can easily survive temperatures of -6ºC without protection but we find that either covering it with straw, or bringing it indoors, it can comfortably survive colder temperatures.
Trachycarpus Fortunei (Windmill Palm) – Hardy to -17ºC for short periods. (qty:10)
Grown for over 100 years in the UK this is the hardiest of all Palms grown in the UK. It is quite difficult to grow from seed but if successful it is well worth it. Quite a tall shrub, almost a tree, reaching approx 15m with fan shaped leaves approx 1.2m across.
Cordyline Australis (Torbay Palm or Cabbage Tree) – Hardy to -10ºC. (qty:10)
Almost small trees in its native habitat but lets not get carried away. This is a relatively small shrub capable of growing multiple trunks with dense, long arching, spiking leaves. Flowers are long, white and extremely fragrant.
Chamaedorea Microspadix (Bamboo Palm) – Hardy to -9ºC. (qty:10)
Seeds can take up to 4 months to germinate but they are well worth the effort for palm and bamboo lovers alike. This is a clump forming palm capable of growing up to 2m high in temperate climates. Long arching leaves grow from the top of thick bamboo like trunks.
