Product Overview
Hardiness zones 7-10
The Trachycarpus nanus, commonly known as the Yunnan Dwarf Palm or Dragonhead Palm, is a highly coveted botanical rarity native to the dry, high-elevation slopes of Yunnan, China. As the smallest and most unique member of the windmill palm family, this subterranean species rarely develops an above-ground trunk, instead forming a compact, creeping mound of stiff, leathery fan fronds. Mature specimens reach a maximum height of just 2 to 3 feet with a 3 to 4 foot spread, making it an exceptional focal point for small gardens, rockeries, or raised beds. In summer, it produces distinctive, starkly upright flower stalks that dramatically tower over the main foliage crown. Renowned for its extreme resilience, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, demands sharply draining soil, and boasts outstanding cold hardiness, reliably tolerating temperatures down to Zone 7b.
