The Silver Saw Palmetto is the less common variety of Saw Palmetto, acting as a unique addition to a landscape with its silver-green leaves. Growing both thickly and densely, the trunk remains practically invisible as the base of the plant remains close to the ground. Over a number of years, the plant will spread out, covering a large area, ranging in height 3 to 8 feet and width from 4 to 6 feet.
Silver Saw Palmetto grows in full sun to shade. It is practically maintenance free, does not require cold protection, and they adapt well to Floridaās sandy soils. Perfect for use as a filler, backdrop, or accent, the Silver Saw Palmetto adds old-Florida charm to a variety of landscapes. It can be planted next to any structure including houses, walls, a fence, and even against a tree trunk. Silver Saw Palmettos are perfect as container plants for large pots or planter boxes and they can also be planted indoors. Another use in landscape is to plant them close together to create an instant hedge with sprawling clusters. Its high salt tolerance makes this an ideal planting for homes on the water.
