Rare Dinosaur Cardboard Palm – Zamia Furfuracea – 4″ Pot – Living Fossil Plant

The rigid, woody, medium-green foliage of cardboard plant emerges from a large underground storage root and forms a loose, spreading, symmetrical rosette. Providing a tropical landscape effect, cardboard plant’s mounding growth habit is ideally suited for use in containers or as a specimen. Several can be planted together for a lush, tropical effect. Zamia furfuracea is a cycad native to southeastern Veracruz state in eastern Mexico. Although not a palm tree (Arecaceae), its growth habit is superficially similar to a palm; therefore, it is commonly known as cardboard palm or cardboard cycad. Other names include cardboard plant, cardboard sago, Jamaican sago and Mexican cycad. This is another of our “living fossil” plants, its kind surviving on earth since the time of the dinosaurs. Prefers sun or bright, indirect light. Water when dry.
