Description

This exotic palm is sure to turn your garden in to a tropical paradise for years to come!

Tough and architectural, these palms will make a striking addition to any garden, with their spiky foliage creating vivid, dancing shadows in the summer sun.

With large, deeply ridged, fan-shaped leaves that will spread luxuriously out above the 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, they provide a wonderful spectacle in any setting.

Growing as tall as you let them, these stunning palms are perfect as a centrepiece, or to add height to borders. They'll also look great in a large pot on your patio. Not a hardy variety, so provide winter protection or move potted palms to shelter from autumn.

Supplied as an established 50-60cm tall plant in a 14cm pot. Plants will ultimately reach around 2m x 1.5m.

Top Tips
  • Water well in spring and summer - despite their tropical looks!
  • In windy spots, provide shelter, as they large leaves can be damaged in high winds
Care Information
  • Slowly growing trees, palms are easy to grow and care for.
  • Thriving in a sheltered site in full sun, with some shade at midday palms are best grown on the patio in a large pot and brought under cover in the winter.
  • When in growth, watering 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 containers 2.5cm larger when new growth starts in spring, using a compost with good drainage.
  • In years when re-potting is not carried out, topdress by removing 5cm of old compost from the top of the pot and replacing with fresh.
  • Pruning will only be needed to remove old fronds, which hang below horizontal.
  • Do not remove those growing upright since this may slow the growth and reduce the palm vigor.
  • Remember to handle palms with care.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
