Sago Palm Cycas revoluta 5 Seeds

Cycas revoluta, commonly known as the sago palm, is an ancient and ornamental plant that belongs to the Cycadaceae family, not to be confused with true palms despite its palm-like appearance. Native to southern Japan, this slow-growing cycad is prized for its symmetrical rosette of stiff, glossy, dark green fronds that emerge in a circular crown from a thick, woody, trunk-like stem. The leaves are pinnate and arch gracefully, lending the plant a prehistoric and dramatic look that has made it a favorite in both outdoor tropical landscapes and indoor container gardens. Cycas revoluta is highly tolerant of drought and poor soils, thriving best in well-drained conditions with full to partial sunlight. It is dioecious, meaning individual plants are either male or female, with males producing large, cone-like structures and females bearing a central structure that can develop seeds if pollinated. Its slow growth rate is balanced by an extraordinary longevity, and it can live for decades, developing an increasingly robust trunk over time. Cycas revoluta is often used as a focal point in gardens, patios, and indoor spaces due to its architectural form and minimal maintenance requirements. It prefers warm, humid tropical and suntropical climates. Its combination of resilience, unique form, and historical significance as a “living fossil” has cemented Cycas revoluta as a beloved feature in gardens and plant collections worldwide.
