hardy Bamboo palm Chamaedorea microspadix central London in London, Essex for sale

Chamaedorea microspadix Bamboo Palm Origin: central Mexico Genus: Chamaedorea Species: microspadix Common Name: Hardy Bamboo Palm Situation: Part shade, any good well-drained soil Eventual height: 3m but slow growing indoors, unlikely to outgrow its space Eventual spread: 2m Hardiness: Hardy to -6C or lower Chamaedorea microspadix is an elegant, clumping palm, pushing up a small colony of bamboo-like stems from which emerge a crown of matt green feathery leaves, in some cases to 50cm long. Although it will acclimatise and grow contentedly in full sun it always looks fresher when given some shade. Probably the most surprising thing about this palm is how hardy it is, taking -6C in its stride and even surviving down to -10C with leaf and stem damage. With its tall and narrow profile, it also makes a good house plant, tolerating low light. can deliver locally in Lambeth London £10
