European Fan Palm

The European Fan Palm is a striking, cold-hardy palm with clustering trunks and fan-shaped, deeply cut fronds that add bold texture and tropical flair to any landscape. Native to the Mediterranean, this palm thrives in a wide range of climates and is one of the hardiest palms available, tolerating cold, heat, drought, and wind.

Its compact, clumping habit makes it perfect for accent plantings, poolside landscaping, or large containers. With slow, manageable growth and strong architectural appeal, the European Fan Palm is a standout choice for both tropical style and drought tolerant gardens.
