I have one plant potted for over a year, has deep colored maroon leafs and is growing slow but steady. I understand it can only take about 35 degrees or it would be in the ground here in zone10a, Port Charlotte, Fl.

This is a great looking palm, but seems to grow differently from the non-maroon, or normal form... suckers ALWAYS, and is much slower, taking many more years to actually form trees. Seed from these plants will produce normal colored seedlings as well as maroon seedlings.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Deland, Florida
Mulberry, Florida
Port Charlotte, Florida
