Description

Transform your garden into a tropical paradise with this fantastically exotic Hardy Fan Palm. Chamaerops humilis, also known as Dwarf Fan Palms, are the palms you will see across the Mediterranean - and if ever there was a statement plant to bring a holiday feel to the garden, then this is it!

Despite boasting tropical good looks, fan palms are actually hardy in conditions down to -5C to -10C, so will withstand frost but benefit from shelter if temperatures drop too low. Large rounded leaves are cut into linear, fan-like segments, growing abundantly and forming a round, compact bush. Chamaerops humilis are perfect for pots on the patio or they'll make a striking spectacle in a sunny border.

Like all palms, Chamaerops are very easy to grow and love hot sunny weather, plus they become drought tolerant once established so are a great option for those who sometimes forget to water their plants!

Supplied as an established plant in a 17L pot, ready for planting. This will already stand roughly 120-140cm tall.

Top Tips
No need to prune, simply remove leaves when they yellow to form a trunk.
Care Information
  • For best chance of thriving, plant in moist, but well-drained soil in a warm and sheltered spot of the garden.
  • Sunny borders are ideal, but in colder regions, keep this palm growing in a large pot on the patio or balcony, moving it to an indoor, sheltered location for autumn.
  • Water regularly when in active growth and feed with a balanced fertiliser once a month. Water sparingly in winter.
  • If your palm 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, top-dress by removing 5cm of old compost from the top of the pot and replacing with fresh.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 7-10 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.
