It has stiff, fan-shaped foliage in an attractive blue-grey-green. The flowers are incredible inflorescences up to 5m in length that hang above and over the foliage as a cascading tassel. It’s perfect for growing as part of a tropical border, alongside other tropical plants such as banana and canna. It’s also suited to indoor or conservatory growing, and is well suited to growing in a large container.Grow Brahea armata in a sheltered spot in well-drained, alkaline soil in full sun. Mature plants are hardy enough for a temperate climate but young plants will need protection in winter. Alternatively, grow in a pot as a conservatory specimen and take outdoors in summer. Seed Propagation Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in containers. Germination of fresh seed usually takes place in 3 - 4 months at 25°c. Stored seed is very slow to germinate. Pre-soaking the seed for 24 hours in warm water prior to sowing may shorten the germination time. Plants form a long tap-root some time before forming a shoot so it is best to sow 2 - 3 seeds per deep pot. Plant them out into their permanent positions as soon as possible.
