A versatile, hardy, and compact palm, Chamaerops humilis or European Fan Palm, features striking silvery-grey to blue-green, fan-shaped leaves with a spined midrib. This slow-growing, multi-trunked palm forms a naturally clumping habit, creating a distinctive architectural presence in any garden or container. Ideal for Mediterranean, coastal, subtropical, or contemporary landscapes, tubs, or as a standout feature in open garden beds, Chamaerops humilis offers year-round structure, texture, and subtle tropical elegance. Regular pruning—twice yearly—of older fronds highlights the textured trunks and enhances its sculptural form.
