Palms

Bring a hint of tropical sunshine to your garden with our wide range of palm trees. These spectacular trees are easy to grow as indoor plants, while some palms can grow to great heights when planted outside.

Palms

Nothing gives off a warm, sunny vibe like a row of palm trees. These iconic plants look great when paired with other tropical plants like ferns and exotic flowers, but palm trees will blend in well with many different garden styles. They’re a great all-rounder, both indoors and out. 

Palms are a very diverse group of plant species, and you’ll find palms of all shapes and sizes in our online gardening store.  Smaller varieties like the Parlor Palm have become highly popular as indoor plants. The shaded, temperate conditions suit them perfectly.


In general, most palms are an easy plant to grow, and they are very tolerant of neglect! It’s an excellent plant for a beginner gardener to start growing. If you’ve got any questions at all about caring for your palm, ask our gardening experts. They’re always happy to help you.

Did you know?

There’s plenty to get excited about when it comes to ferns! Here are some of our favourite fun facts about this beautiful and enigmatic plant species.

  • They don’t drop seeds. Most people know that ferns don’t flower, but did you know that they don’t drop seeds at all? Instead, they reproduce from tiny, dust-like spores that form underneath the leaves. They’re easy to clean up and easy to propagate.

  • Some palms live for a century! Some species of palm are likely to outlive you. When kept outdoors, several types of palm trees can live for decades. It’s common for them to last 100 years or more! Indoors, palms tend to live for around 10 years.

  • They can get big. While palm trees do grow slowly, they can reach some very impressive heights over time. Because they’re so often kept in small pots as young indoor plants, it’s easy to forget that a palm is a majestic, full-sized tree in the wild!
