Chamaerops Humilis palm is very useful in garden design with its strikingly distinctive form<\/p><\/div>\n

Evergreen Chamaerops Humilis<\/a> is a hardy, flexible palm tree that won\u2019t grow as tall as most palms. Being UK hardy and because of its neat size, the Chamaerops Humilis palm<\/a> is very useful in garden design with its strikingly distinctive form, beautiful large fan-shaped leaves and an attractive dense growing habit. Chamaerops Humilis palms<\/a>\u00a0are excellent additions to UK Mediterranean or tropical themed gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Mediterranean<\/a>

Mediterranean Effect in UK gardens: Chamaerops humilis var. humilis with Cordylines to the rear & Tetrapanax in front.<\/p><\/div>\n

There are two varieties of Chamaerops Humilis<\/strong>, the main difference between them being the colour of the foliage. Chamaerops humilis var. humilis<\/strong><\/a> is a green-leaved palm and is in fact the only palm tree that is native to Europe, originating from the European Med and Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n

Chamaerops humilis var. argentea<\/strong> <\/a>(also known as Chamaerops humilis Cerifera<\/a>) originates from the Atlas Mountains and has dramatic steely blue foliage. Chamaerops humilis argentea<\/a> is more commonly known as the Blue Mediterranean fan palm<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Chamaerops<\/a>

Chamaerops humilis var. argentea (also Chamaerops humilis Cerifera) AKA Blue Mediterranean fan palm.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Chamaerops Humilis palm<\/a> has a clumping habit. It can either be grown as a multi-trunk or you can keep them as a single trunk format.<\/p>\n

Once it settles in, the Chamaerops Humilis palm<\/a> is drought tolerant. These palms are also tolerant of partial shade, although they will be even more slow-growing under these conditions.<\/p>\n

It will come as no surprise that the Chamaerops Humilis palm<\/a> is a recipient of RHS Garden of Merit.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
