BLUE HESPER PALM (Brahea armata) 5 seeds

Brahea armata, known as the Blue Hesper Palm or Mexican Blue Palm, is a lovely palm that is native to California, and north-western Mexico.


Very distinctive and attractive plant, with large, blue/grey fan leaves that grow 1-2 metres wide with 1 metre long petioles. The leaves are persistent in nature, forming a shag around the trunk; in cultivation they are typically burned or cut off.


The trunk gets to about 50cm wide, although it only grows to about 12 metres tall.


The inflorescences extend out beyond the crown, reaching 5 metres in length.


Prefers full sun in a dry, very well drained situation. Very slow growing. Rarely seen in the tropics and sub-tropics, since it is usually too wet, and humid for them. Very frost resistant and hardy to -10 degrees C.



For sale is a packet of 5 seeds.


ALL SEED PACKAGES COME WITH A SET OF SEED PROPAGATION INSTRUCTIONS.

**Note: For international buyers, please make sure that you are aware of any Customs restrictions that may apply to importing seeds into your country. This is particularly important for US residents. I cannot be held responsible for any seeds that may be confiscated upon entry to any country. If in doubt, ask me and I will provide you with some advice or direct you to the relevant body of information for your particular country.

Combined Postage/Shipping:


If you purchase multiple packets of seeds then they will be posted/shipped in the cheapest envelope or parcel rate available. What you pay is what Australia Post charges me, plus a small handling fee to cover packing materials. Final postage total does depend on the seed varieties purchased as some species have larger/heavier seeds than others so cost more to post. I don't automatically charge extra for each purchase and in many cases a number of packets of seeds can be posted/shipped for just the one initial postage charge. 


To get combined postage just make each purchase on Ebay but don't press the 'Pay Now' button after each purchase. Once you have finished buying, then press the 'Pay Now' button and an option appears at the top that says 'Request Total'. Press this one and I then get an email to tell me to combine the items into one invoice for combined postage. I then send you a final invoice for payment.



Payment Options:


Australian buyers: Paypal, Bank Deposit or Money Order.

International buyers: Paypal is the only payment method accepted.
