Good plant #133 - Chamaerops Humilis var. Argentea

This a cheeky hardy palm with blue fan leaves.  It can cope with cold and dry conditions.  This a good palm for a pot.

This plant thrives in the sun in well-drained soils.

You can propagate this plant using its suckers that grow at the base, which you just remove and plant in free draining soil.
