Notes
Blue latan palm (Latania loddigesii) is a palm for borders, containers, and low maintenance xeriscape gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is evergreen, and it handles drought and salt well. It can reach 20 to 25 feet tall.
Pairs well with New Zealand flax, Meerlo lavender, and Purple needle grass.
