The hardy Chamaerops Humilis (European dwarf palm)
The Chamaerops Humilis, also known as the European dwarf palm, is a compact, hardy palm that comes from the Mediterranean.
Thanks to its robust character and graceful fan-shaped leaves, this palm is our favourite choice for indoors as well as outdoors.
What makes this palm unique is that it's the only palm species with European roots. In its natural surroundings it grows in sunny, windy conditions. That's why the Chamaerops Humilis has developed strong, slightly curved leaves that protect it against strong wind. It's exactly what gives the plant its characteristic, playful look.
