This is the only palm native to Europe which gives an exotic focal point in any garden with its evergreen fan-shaped leaves. It is naturally slow growing and rarely exceeds head height. Given a warm, sheltered position it's safe to plant outside, but in colder areas it's best grown in a large tub and brought indoors during the winter. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
