Rhapidophyllum hystrix Amaryllids The blue-purple (RHS 82A)The hardiest of palms, Rhapidophyllum hystrix is a slow growing Southeast US (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina) native that has withstood 9 degrees F here with NO damage (without protection or special siting). We expect established needle palm specimens should handle 20 degrees F. This short trunked, 8' tall x 12' wide, clump forming, hardy palm has typical cut leaf, green palm foliage and sharp "needles" at the base to protect the seeds
