Brahea Super Silver

Mexican Blue Palm

Available in packets of 10, 20 or 50 seeds. 

A stunning new hardy silver blue palm discovered in the mountains of Mexico. Unlike other Braheas, Super Silver is also thornless and its smaller size makes it a popular choice for a protected garden. Tolerates severe night frosts in its native habitat, tolerant to perhaps minus 10°C but it really requires a warmer summer than we experience in the UK so more like -5°C if not hardened off well by strong summer sun. The stiff, fan shaped leaves like Brahea armata are covered in a stunning pale blue bloom which looks best in hot dry conditions.
