Each variety offers strong architectural form—upright rosettes, arching fronds \u0026amp; year-round foliage—that enhances woodland borders, shaded patios \u0026amp; mixed planting schemes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh \u0026amp; fully established 3L rootball in its nursery pot, professionally grown in premium peat-free compost at our Yorkshire nursery.
