Ponytail Palm

Fun, sculptural, and almost carefree, the Ponytail Palm makes a lively addition to any home or patio. Despite its name, it's not actually a true palm - it's a hardy succulent with a thick, bulbous trunk that stores water and long, cascading, ribbon-like leaves that resemble a ponytail. Drought tolerant and extremely low maintenance, this playful plant thrives on neglect and brings easygoing tropical charm to any space.
