Sabal minor
Dwarf Blue Stem Palmetto is a small, clumping palm that typically grows 3-6 ft tall with a trunkless or short-trunked form. It is extremely cold-hardy, flood-tolerant, and drought-tolerant once established. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with average to moist soil. This low-maintenance native requires little care and provides excellent textural interest and tropical appeal to landscapes. Its fan-shaped fronds create dense, attractive foliage year-round, making it ideal for understory plantings or as a distinctive accent plant.
