Aside from the Trachycarpus, the Chamaerops Humilis is probably the best palm for growing in the UK when it comes to cold hardiness and weather tolerance. This species is experienced in a varied climate and survived the tough 2022/2023 UK winter, coming out thriving, where we experience lows down to -14c some nights.
This Mediterranean Fan Palm is a small clustering palm with distinctive, huge green leaves that spread out in an attractive fan form. Providing a luxurious South of France feeling while you’re still at home, the Chamaerops humilis produces babies that grow into a multi-stemmed plant, creating a bundle of flourishing palms that get bigger and bushier as they grow.
Once established, Chamaerops humilis is tolerant of drought and well-suited to full blazing sun or partial shade. It can also withstand a cold garden or hot conservatory, whether you’ve planted it in an exposed garden or balcony planters; its versatility and durability mean it will be quite at home no matter where you plant it.
What’s more, you don’t have to be a horticulturist to encourage this palm to thrive, as it’s remarkably easy to look after and grow. The Mediterranean Fan Palm is a beautiful plant for any garden. When unpruned, it grows into an attractive shrubby form, while if you prefer to get it pruned, it will grow into a single-trunked tree form that’s ideal for keeping in a planter.
This palm works perfectly as a centrepiece in any outdoor area, creating impact anywhere it is planted. Touted as a real architectural masterpiece for your collection, why not try it in a roomy container to grace your patio or deck, and even show it off to friends at your next barbecue. It’s even ideal to use as a houseplant.
Chamaerops humilis is the northernmost naturally occurring palm in the world. It is found as far north as the south coast of France in its natural state. In the UK, it generally grows to around two metres tall.
Normally retailing for £179.99, Gardening Express’ end-of-season clearance sale has seen it fall all the way to £59.99 while stocks last.
