A compact form of the more widely grown Chamaerops humilis with stiff, dense leaves held on stout stems, and a rounded, bushy habit. Discovered in a nursery in Sicily, this architectural beauty is proving to be just as hardy, frost, and wind-resistant as its larger growing relative.
Grow in well-drained soil in full sun. Extremely drought tolerant once established.
