The European Fan Palm is a striking, multi-trunked plant that adds an instant Mediterranean feel to any garden. Known for its rugged, textured stems and large fan-shaped leaves, it brings a robust and structural look to your outdoor space. Because it naturally grows multiple trunks, it creates a wide, impressive base, making it a brilliant standalone feature for a gravel garden, a large patio planter, or a tropical-themed border.

- Size (H × W)
- 100 x 90 cm
- Sunlight
- Full Sun to Partial Shade. It loves a bright, sunny spot, which helps the leaves stay compact and the plant grow strong, but it will also do just fine in light shade.
- Watering
- Low to Moderate. Water it well during the summer, but let the top few inches of soil dry out completely before watering again. It’s highly drought-tolerant once established, so be sure to keep it on the drier side over the winter.
- Soil & Drainage
- Well-drained soil is essential. It hates sitting in cold, wet ground, especially during the winter. If you are planting it in a pot, use a mix of standard compost and plenty of horticultural grit or sand to make sure water flows straight through.
