An attractive, slow-growing, multi-stemmed palm with large fan-shaped leaves, Rhapis excelsa is a clump-forming evergreen shrub rather than a tall common palm. The soft bristled foliage makes them one of the most beautiful plants for the garden, thanks to the gently filtered light and the calm rustle of papery leaves in the wind. Rhapis palm will bring colour and structure as an indoor plant.
