Zamia furfuracea - Sago Cycas, Cardboard Palm

Market price from $83.99 to $289.99

Zamia furfuracea is a robust, versatile evergreen that flawlessly blends exotic appeal with practical durability. Earning its popular monikers of 'Sago Cycas' and 'Cardboard Palm', this distinctive plant, native to Mexico's eastern coast, punctuates landscapes with its unique prehistoric charm. Set apart in the 'Palms & Cycads' family, it's interesting to note that it's actually a cycad, one of the oldest plant families on earth, and not a true palm. Showcasing a stout, partially-subterranean trunk, it's adorned with feather-like fronds that radiate with glossy, dark green leaves, thick and textured, bearing a striking resemblance to cardboard. Standing up to 5 feet tall, this robust beauty thrives in full sun to partial shade, exhibiting wonderful adaptability to varying soil conditions and demonstrating resilience to pests. This is a low-maintenance choice essential for those who wish to add an intriguing touch of ancient aesthetics to their gardens. Take special note though, every part of this plant is poisonous when ingested. Exceptional in its form, the Zamia furfuracea perfectly blends ease of care with an unforgettable visual statement.
