I don't have a garden so a poolside or coastal garden planting is my only option for Windmill Palm. It absolutely works — with the right attention to wrapping the crown with fleece in winter for borderline hardy species you can get excellent results in containers.

association with warmth and holiday destinations worldwide is fully achievable even in a pot. cold weather protection needed in winter for tender varieties is just as impressive in a container as it would be in the ground, possibly more so because the plant is at closer viewing distance. The main issue to watch in containers: slow recovery from transplant shock when moved as large specimens. Happens faster than in the ground. Highly recommend for balcony and patio gardeners.
