Pretty Palms and Cycads for your Containers
Palms and cycads make striking container plants for decks, patios, porches and around pools, adding an exotic and tropical touch to our outdoor living areas. While most palm trees thrive in the landscape, there are also quite a few species that are suitable to container gardening.
Cold-Hardy Palms For Your Garden
To most people, Palm trees evoke images of the tropics with their charming silhouettes and graceful fronds that sway gently in the breeze. However, many of the 2,500 species tolerate cooler climates and can withstand brief periods of colder temperatures and even occasional snowfall.
Drought Tolerant Palms and Cycads
There are dozens of beautiful and exotic palms that perform extremely well in arid climates, as long as there is water available for their roots. These highly drought tolerant palms can survive several months of rainless periods once established.
