Saw Palmetto is one of the most valuable plants for wildlife in Florida. Its fruit is eaten by birds and mammals and it is a host plant for the palmetto skipper and monk skipper butterflies. It is tolerant of salt spray and occasional flooding and can grow in a variety of conditions. With showy flowers and fan-shaped foliage that ranges in color from green to silver, it can be planted as a specimen or used in borders.
