Description: These plants are grown from garden seed harvested from plants collected in Mexico at 8,000 ft elevation. Broad leaves that are blue-green on top and silver-gray below, with drooping fingers, would be stunning enough, yet imagine 3 ft gold inflorescences spiking through the foliage in fall. It's a small manageable palm that needs very well drained soil.
