Cyrtostachys renda - Lipstick Palm

Add item to quote to see pricing

Cyrtostachys renda is an exuberant specimen from the tropical realms of Southeast Asia, more widely known as the Lipstick Palm, thanks to its vivid, bright red to orange trunks. Standing majestically at heights of up to 50 feet, this palm boasts a head of lush, green, pinnate leaves that can span up to 10 feet long - a cascade of green against a fiery trunk bringing to life an unparalleled contrast in your landscape. In its element under full sun to semi-shade conditions, the Lipstick Palm revels in high-moisture, humid environments, bringing with it a dense tropical allure. While requiring a fair bit of attention with its sensitivity to cold temperatures and high watering needs, it pays off in a dynamic burst of color, adding an exotic yet undeniably stylish, architectural accent to any temperate garden layout.
