Easy care palm trees are a low maintenance option once planted and established in your yard yet offer so much in terms of adding tropical good looks to your outdoor aesthetic. While they generally need plenty of sun and warm temperatures to thrive, many species are surprisingly cold hardy and shade tolerant.
Palms add a sensory touch with the rustle of fronds shifting in the breeze, and beautifully textured trunks. Plant one to introduce an architectural element that will anchor your design with its bold, symmetrical foliage. The shapely trunk will add an important vertical element to your modern garden's planting. A palm will also cast dappled shade and throw decorative shadows on patios and walls. Meanwhile a dramatically uplit palm tree transforms the night garden.
