Landscape Design Tip

The Bismarck Palm is most impressive when given room to shine. Its massive silver-blue canopy creates spectacular contrast against dark green tropical plants and modern architecture.

It pairs beautifully with:

• White Bird of Paradise
• Green Buttonwood
• Crotons
• Agave
• Purple Fountain Grass

• White decorative rock
• Black lava rock
• Modern landscape lighting
• Contemporary homes

Because of its sculptural appearance, one well-placed Bismarck Palm often creates more visual impact than several smaller trees.
