PLANT PROFILE
Chamaerops humilis, commonly known as the European Fan Palm, is a compact, evergreen palm prized for its dense clumping habit, fan-shaped fronds, and exceptional hardiness. Native to the Mediterranean, this slow-growing palm offers a neat, architectural form and is one of the most cold-tolerant palms available.
Typically reaching 2–4 metres tall and 2–4 metres wide, it forms multiple slender trunks topped with symmetrical, bluish-green to grey-green foliage. It produces small yellow flowers in spring, which add seasonal interest. Thriving in full sun to part shade, this species is drought-tolerant once established, copes well with coastal conditions, and tolerates light frost, making it suitable for a wide range of landscapes.
They look excellent when used as a feature plant in courtyards, poolside spaces, Mediterranean gardens, or planted en masse for a dramatic low-screen or architectural backdrop. With minimal maintenance requirements and impressive resilience, the European Fan Palm is a versatile, long-lived option for modern and classic planting designs.
