Lady palms grow in tight clumps of slender, bamboo-like canes with glossy fan fronds. They are one of the best palms for shade, so they fill spots on the north or under tree cover where a screen is needed.
They are slow, which means they stay in scale and need little trimming. Burned leaves in full sun are the main problem, so keep them out of hot afternoon sun.
For a screen we plant them close together so the clumps knit into a wall. Expect it to fill slowly, so a larger container gets you privacy sooner.
