Windmill Palm – Trachycarpus fortunei Seeds | 10 Seeds | Hardy Evergreen Palm | Cold Hardy Tropical Accent

Grow your own hardy tropical statement plant with Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), one of the most cold-tolerant palms available. Native to mountainous regions of Asia, this elegant evergreen palm brings a lush, tropical look to landscapes far beyond typical palm-growing climates.

Windmill Palm features a slender single trunk covered in coarse fiber (which eventually reveals a smooth, ringed surface) and a symmetrical crown of fan-shaped green fronds. The circular leaves can reach up to 3 feet across and form a compact canopy 8–10 feet wide. Female plants produce attractive blue fruits in late summer following bright yellow spring blooms.

Cold hardy to approximately 10°F (Zone 7B), this adaptable palm tolerates heat, moderate drought, and even some salt exposure. It thrives in courtyards, patios, entryways, poolside plantings, and containers. This 10-seed pack is ideal for gardeners looking to grow a hardy evergreen tropical accent from seed.
