Silver Saw Palmetto seeds

****Hardy in zones 8-11***
 
The Silver Saw Palmetto is a striking, slow-growing evergreen shrub celebrated for its fan-shaped fronds that shimmer with a distinct silvery-blue or chalky-white hue. A natural mutation of the common green saw palmetto, this variety is highly prized in landscaping for its dramatic color and architectural form. It typically reaches a height of 4 to 8 feet and can spread up to 10 feet or more via creeping horizontal trunks that hug the ground. Beyond its ornamental beauty, it is a powerhouse for local ecosystems, providing nectar for bees and essential fruit for birds and mammals like white-tailed deer and black bears.
 
In terms of resilience, the Silver Saw Palmetto is exceptionally tough and adaptable. It is best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 8 through 11, though it is notably more cold-hardy than many other palms and can often survive brief temperature dips as low as 10°F to 15°F. In Zone 7, it may persist with winter protection and a sheltered planting site. Once established, this palm is virtually maintenance-free: it is highly drought-tolerant, salt-spray resistant, and thrives in everything from full sun to deep shade. Whether used as a privacy hedge, a container specimen, or a coastal accent, it brings a rugged, "Old Florida" charm to the garden.
