Licuala grandis

Unwind amongst the dramatic, fan-shaped foliage of Licuala grandis and imagine yourself dancing the hula on paradise island!Native to the Pacific island of Vanuatu, Licuala grandis is one of the most spectacular species of palm. A slim trunk supports a crown of a dozen or more deep green glossy leaves up to 50cm in diameter. The leaves have an incredible pleated texture, standing erect when young before fanning out as they mature into graceful tiers of crimped foliage. A stylish statement plant for elegant interiors, it's no wonder this houseplant is loved by designers. Ultimate height: 2m (6.5ft). Ultimate spread: 1m (3.2ft).
