YouGarden Canary Island Phoenix Canariensis Date Palm Plant Pot 19cm 2 Pack

A relative of the date palm, Phoenix canariensis is a large palm tree with spreading, deep green leaves arching elegantly from its attractive, stout trunk. During a hot summer, drooping bunches of creamy yellow flowers may appear. Holding a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, the Canary Island date palm makes an excellent evergreen specimen plant for the patio or conservatory. Phoenix canariensis enjoys a sheltered garden position on the patio throughout summer, but should be brought into an indoor spot through winter, as it won't survive freezing conditions. The Phoenix Palm is undeniably impressive and can grow to more than 12m in its native Canary Islands. Fortunately, here in the UK and when restricted in a container, it reaches a much more manageable height of 1.5m. Add a pair of these tropical beauties to your patio or garden to create a real holiday feel for years to come, instantly conjuring up scenes of a tropical paradise where their huge leaves waft airily in the sea breeze and you can almost hear the sea lapping at the shore. Supplied as a pair of mature plants, approximately 0.8 to 1m tall in 19cm pots, ready to plant outside from the end of April.
