Scientific Name: Asterogyne martiana. Common name: Polaris palm. A delightful little single stem palm species native to rainforests of Belize and Central America. Rare in cultivation it is unrivalled as an adornment for tropical gardens and is a very popular palm with palm collectors. The new leaves emerge almost copper-colored. In cultivation it can be difficult to grow outside the tropics, but given ample water, it will grow in the deepest shade to bright filtered light. Nice to use in group plantings, with other plants, in tropical or subtropical patio or courtyard settings to obtain a tropical jungle motif.
This item is a special wholesale nursery grower's packet of one thousand (actually it will be 1,100) Asterogyne martiana seeds, to be delivered upon receipt of payment.
