Our Palm Varieties

Elegant and fast-growing, Queen Palms are a perfect addition to any tropical garden. Their long, feathery fronds sway gracefully in the breeze, creating a soothing, exotic atmosphere. These palms are ideal for adding height and texture to large spaces and thrive in full sun, making them a fantastic choice for creating a tropical canopy in your yard.

Despite not being a true palm, the Sago Palm offers a bold, symmetrical look that makes it a popular choice for both potted arrangements and small garden spaces. Its thick trunk and feathery, dark green leaves create a dramatic, low-maintenance centerpiece that works beautifully in both tropical and desert-inspired gardens.
(Trachycarpus fortunei)
Known for its cold tolerance and compact size, the Windmill Palm is perfect for those looking for a tropical feel in smaller spaces. Its unique, textured trunk and fan-like fronds make it a versatile choice for both large landscapes and container gardening. With its resilience, the Windmill Palm can thrive even in slightly cooler climates.
(Chamaerops humilis var. cerifera)
Add a pop of color and texture to your tropical paradise with the Blue Mediterranean Palm. Its distinctive blue-green fronds and clumping growth habit make it a standout in any garden. Perfect for both coastal and desert-themed landscapes, this drought-tolerant palm offers a unique and exotic appeal.
(Butia capitata)
Also known as the Jelly Palm, the Pindo Palm is perfect for those looking for a tropical feel with the added bonus of small, edible fruits. Its arching blue-grey fronds and textured trunk make it an eye-catching addition to any landscape. Slow-growing and hardy, it thrives in hot, sunny environments and offers a graceful, cascading silhouette.
(Phoenix canariensis)
For a bold and majestic presence, the Canary Island Date Palm is unmatched. With its wide, arching fronds and large, textured trunk, it serves as a dramatic focal point in large gardens or landscapes. This palm is ideal for adding grandeur and an exotic flair to your outdoor space, often used as a signature statement in Mediterranean or tropical settings.
(Phoenix dactylifera)
Known for its towering height and clusters of sweet, edible dates, the Date Palm brings a classic tropical feel to any garden. Its tall, stately form and textured trunk make it a dramatic addition to large landscapes, perfect for lining driveways or creating a grand entrance. This palm thrives in hot climates and adds a luxurious, resort-like vibe to any space.
(Phoenix roebelenii)
Ideal for smaller spaces or as an accent plant in pots, the Pygmy Date Palm offers the elegance of a full-sized date palm in a more compact size. Its finely textured fronds and slow growth make it a versatile option for patios, entryways, or smaller garden areas. This palm’s manageable size and tropical look make it a favorite for homeowners seeking lush greenery without the need for a large space.
Caring for Your Palms
While palms are known for their tropical beauty, they also offer easy care and maintenance. Here are a few tips to ensure your palms thrive:
Sunlight: Most palms, like Queen Palms and Pygmy Date Palms, thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It’s important to choose the right spot based on the palm’s needs.
Watering: Newly planted palms need regular watering to establish strong roots, but once established, many varieties like the Blue Mediterranean Palm and Windmill Palm are drought-tolerant and require infrequent watering.
Soil: Well-drained soil is key for healthy palms. Avoid waterlogged conditions, and consider amending the soil with organic matter if necessary.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to support growth. Palms benefit from nutrients like magnesium and potassium, especially when grown in poor soils.
Designing Your Tropical Paradise
Palms offer endless design possibilities. Whether you want to create a lush privacy screen, use them as bold focal points, or incorporate them into potted displays, palms are a versatile choice. Pairing them with flowering tropicals, like hibiscus or bird of paradise, can enhance the exotic feel of your garden. Groupings of palms, such as the stately Canary Island Date Palm alongside the elegant Queen Palm, can add dimension and visual interest to your space.
