Cat Tail Palm

The Cat Palm is a small, attractive clumping palm without a trunk, and this tropical beauty is also an excellent choice for planting near swimming pools, ponds or streams! Native to Mexico, Chamaedorea cataractarum (botanical name), can also be used as an indoor houseplant in a bright room, such as a sunroom, though it shines in the landscape when used as a backdrop for other tropical plants. We like to plant them with the Bismarck Palm, where they can be used to create one of the lushest privacy hedges you can find! We also like to use them as an attractive understory plant and in borders.
