Evergreen texture with a tropical feel
Dwarf Palmetto Palm Shrub is a compact evergreen native to the Southeastern United States, from Texas to North Carolina and south through Florida and Mexico. Its broad, fan-shaped green fronds bring year-round structure and a tropical look without the height of a typical palm.
Well suited to specimen planting or grouped beneath taller trees, it adds bold texture to shady and naturalized landscapes. Once established, it is durable and low maintenance, and deer rarely bother its foliage.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a site with partial shade to full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and about twice as wide, keeping the plant at its original soil level.
2. Watering: Water deeply after planting and regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it tolerates short dry periods but grows best with consistent moisture.
3. Pruning: Remove only brown, damaged, or worn fronds as needed. Cut them near the base without damaging healthy new growth.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release palm fertilizer in spring, following label directions. Avoid overfertilizing, especially in rich or amended soil.
