One of the few palms native to the Mediterranean: a symbol of resilience, surviving in harsh environments.
The only palm native to Mediterranean Europe, the fan palm is perfect for coastal beds, roundabouts and low-maintenance gardens: it withstands salt spray, wind, drought and brief frosts, keeping a compact, tidy habit all year round.
Its tufts appear in ancient Roman mosaics, and the fibre from its leaves — vegetable horsehair — was used to stuff mattresses and seats until the last century.
