(Rhapidophyllum hystrix)
Native to the southeastern U.S., primarily Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia
Best tropical foliage ground cover. Needle palm can be planted as small, young plants spaced 18 inches apart to form a ground cover mat of tropical foliage. Needle palm grows in dry shade and requires little maintenance, because it is very slow-growing. Once it forms a contiguous mat as a ground cover, it can help control erosion on sloped sites. It can eventually reach a mature height of 4 to 6 feet, but that growth can be cut back to maintain a short stature.
