My home landscape has been grossly neglected this past month. Things planted in the ground can usually take some abuse - but potted items depend on fairly regular care. Last night I realized that two large pots on the patio now only contain compost fodder. I hit the garden center this morning to find something fun to place in those pots. Not a thing really jumped out at me - They've always held blooming plants but it got me to wonder what palms might do well in them.
Here's a very incomplete list of palms we think do well in pots.
Clustering Fishtail Palm, Caryota mitis
Bamboo Palm, Chamaedorea seifrizii (given enough time, a four inch pot will grow 12 feet tall)
Pindo Palm, Butia capitata
Mediterranean Fan Palm, Chamaerops humilis
Pygmy Date Palm, Phoenix roebellinii
Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa
Windmill Palm, Trachycarpus fortunei (in top photo)
These potted Phoenix roebellinii look good as singles, doubles and triples.
