Dwarf Palmetto

Sabal minor · Palm

Dwarf Palmetto is a slow-growing palm, hardy in USDA zones 7-10, that matures to about 4–6 ft × 4–6 ft. It does best in full sun and part shade with medium water needs in standing-water, moist and occasionally-dry soil. Expect cream and white blooms in summer. It attracts pollinators, small mammals and songbirds, stands up well to deer, drought and heat and grows happily in containers.
