Help needed, dying palm

This was in the garden when we moved in 2 years ago and has been fine until now, I don’t know what it’s called or what I can do to help it, can anyone help? It looks parched but watering doesn’t help, everything else in the garden is flourishing so I’m completely stumped.

 

Thank you so much for your speedy reply! I’ve been panicking as this is a rented house, yes I’m in UK and we did have a terrible winter. I will keep watering, are daily evening watering a sufficient?

 

Ok thank you. I don’t generally water it at all have only done so since noticing it wilting .

 

It looks like it has wilted recently?
Growing well at some point this year, than suddenly wilted, seems a bit strange?

I do agree with John, it is showing signs of regrowth though.

Just wondering if the neighbours like it.

 

Yes it’s been fine then suddenly this! I had put it down to the heatwave but thought it odd since palms can handle heat!

 

Well it's not really a palm, its basically a slightly tender plant with massive leaves

When did you last have a frost?

 

March, we had snow in March, and in Feb, and frost throughout, was an awful winter. I have several of these in my front garden though and they’re fine, it’s just this one that’s suffering. My whole garden has gone nuts over last few weeks, everything is growing massively so seems odd that this is the only plant looking sad. Pete, I know very little about gardening and plants in general- I basically keep the grass cut and try to keep on top of the weeds. The house has a huge mature and very extensively planted garden, keeping up with the weeds takes up a huge amount of time but luckily the plants shrubs and trees have seemed to take care of themselves until now.

 

Hello @AbiJ to GC and nice to have you with us...your in very capable hands with @JWK and @pete as they know there stuff

 

Hi Gail, thank you for the welcome

 

Your welcome mate and I shouldn't worry to much have faith...with the cold winter and then the heat...it made my Cordylines a bit dry especially my "Red Star" but they're fighting good with new shootings from the roots regular and @pete as given me great advice on the best course of action to keep them right

 

Know what you mean John, another plant that does the same thing is Fremontodendron, going slightly off track.

I'm sure you understand why I asked if the neighbours like it.
It's close to the fence, perhaps it strays over their side when in full leaf
Hint hint, nudge nudge.
