The Butia is one of the hardiest palms and will grow in many climate zones. It is an outstanding landscape subject and creates a tropical effect with its pleasing, stiff yet graceful feather leaves. Nothing stands out quite like the Butia with its bluish or silver green feather fronds against the darker greens of other foliage. This palm is beautiful enough to be planted alone, but is more spectacular when grouped with three or more with varying heights.
