Add item to quote to see pricing

Hedyscepe canterburyana is an impressive species from our Palms & Cycads collection, often recognized as the Umbrella Palm for its cascading, symmetrical fronds that emulate the canopy of an umbrella. It majestically stands up to 5-8 meters tall in a domestic setting—though it even stretches up to 10 meters in its natural Australian habitat of Lord Howe Island. This palm's long, arching green leaves are elegantly accentuated by a unique silver lining underneath, giving the foliage a distinguished presence. Blossoming with creamy white flowers, it transitions to a grand display of bright red fruits, adding vibrant bursts of colour to any landscape. The Umbrella Palm maintains a moderate water usage, thriving best in moist and well-drained soils. Its resilience is showcased in its adaptability to both full sun and partial shade environments. With such strength and elegance packaged into one, the Umbrella Palm is more than just a plant—it's a natural work of art.
