With its striking colour schemes, this palm is in much demand by landscapers in tropical and sub tropical regions.
It is a is a slender multi-stemmed and rather slow-growing, clustering palm with a bright red coloured crown shaft and leaf sheath - unlike any other member of this palm's family.
This contrasts with the vibrant green leaves making a very exotic splash in any garden.
Due to its clumping nature it makes a great screening plant and will easily hide most average size sheds or make a jacuzzi area private.
Can also be grown indoors given a decent sized pot or tub and lots of humidity and water.
