Product Information
This palm is sure to turn your garden into a tropical paradise for years to come!
Tough and architectural, it will make a striking addition to any garden, with its spiky foliage creating vivid, dancing shadows in the summer sun. Its large, deeply ridged, fan-shaped leaves will spread luxuriously out above a stout trunk, forming an impressive canopy of bright green foliage.
Commonly called Cotton Palms because of their wisps of cotton-like strands that fall from each leaf, these plants make a wonderful spectacle in any setting.
Growing as tall as you let them, these stunning palms are perfect as a centrepiece, or for adding height to borders. They also look great in pots on your patio, or as a pair placed either side of a door, gateway or path. Semi-hardy down to -5°C, so provide winter protection or move potted palms to shelter.
Supplied as an established in a 1.5 litre pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
- Water well in spring and summer – despite their tropical looks!
- In windy spots, provide shelter, as their large leaves can be damaged in high winds.
Care Information
- Slow-growing trees, palms are easy to grow and care for. Thriving in a sheltered site in full sun, with some shade at midday, they are best grown on the patio in large pots and brought under cover in the winter.
- When in growth, water moderately and feed with a balanced fertiliser once a month at half strength. Water sparingly in winter.
- If the plant becomes pot-bound, pot on into a container 2.5cm (1in) larger when new growth starts in spring, using a compost with good drainage.
- In years when repotting is not carried out, topdress by removing 5cm (2in) of old compost from the top of the pot and replace with fresh.
- Pruning will only be needed to remove old fronds that hang below horizontal. Do not remove those growing upright, as this may slow the growth and reduce the palm's vigor.
- Remember that these palms have spines and sharp edges; use extreme caution when handling.
- Semi-hardy down to -5°C, so provide winter protection or move potted palms to shelter.
