Today's video is all about Chamaerops humilis, the hardy evergreen palm known as the European, Mediterranean or Dwarf fan palm. Slow growing, ideally suited to sunny, dry gardens or as an exotic container or pot plant, these tropical / arid style plants are a beautiful structural addition to UK gardens. I talk about why I think these palms are worth growing in the UK, how they're a cold hardy and heat-tolerant water-wise plant suited to the changing climate and look at a few varieties I'll be planting in my UK tropical style garden including Chamaerops humilis 'Vulcano' and 'Cerifera'. I then mention care tips for looking after these lovely exotic plants but for more info on feeding, fertilising and watering your palms check out the vids below:
