9 -11 - New for
2008! - Purple hues and white Underside! Originating from Thailand, the "White Elephant Palm" is beautiful and elegant with its very large, completely circular, and only shallowly divided fan-shaped leaves that are bright white underneath.
The White Elephant palm only grows in just a tiny area of Thailand making it
very rare. It is best suited for warm subtropical and tropical, wind-sheltered areas
but also does well as a stunning house plant. The lowest reported temperatures
known by us 29º here being protected from the frost under the oak hammock. They
have endured well the last two seasons since it has taken this long for them to
grow after waiting about 6 months for them to germinate. They are now about
8-12" tall with 1-3 leaves with nice roots. Even though they took a pretty
long time to germinate, one they gave out their first leaf, they have been
steady growing. The leaves already display the
white undersides that give them their name, The White Elephant Palm. If you are
not able to grow it outdoors in your climate, you can certainly enjoy this as an
indoor houseplant! These photos don't really depict the best quality of this
