Rhaphis excelsa

From: £54.99

Elegantly graceful, adorned with richly patterned leaves, and displaying exquisite beauty, Rhapis excelsa have acquired the popular name of "Lady Palms". Rare, slow-growing, 'and extremely versatile, they are undemanding and long-lived.  Enchanted by these exceptional qualities, the Japanese first began collecting Rhapis from China in the 17th century, as exclusive possessions for the Imperial palaces and the highest levels of nobility.  During the 1800s, the fame of these esteemed palms spread throughout the world. Rhapis excelsa became prized specimens in European conservatories, classic parlor palms of wealthy Americans, and landscape features of the finest botanical gardens. These early cultivated palms were a tall "standard" form, often growing more than 14' in height and attaining immense width. Consequently it became known as the "Large Lady Palm". 


It is very adaptable to different soil types although neutral to slightly acid soils with good drainage and organic matter is recommended for best results. This palm is well suited as an understory plant so for best results a partially shaded spot under trees or a pergola is ideal.  
Can be grown in full sun as long as soil is good and adequate water is available. Also a good palm for a container or for a smaller garden or as a house plant.  Said to tolerate temperatures as low as 20° F and reasonably cold hardy, particularly when grown under shelter, and it also grows in climates where it may be exposed to prolonged periods of cold weather. They will persist even when in a very dry environment, though they do appreciate a drink.  Rhapis excelsa will form a clump and can be readily divided.
