Zamia furfuracea

The Cardboard Plant, known scientifically as Zamia furfuracea, has been around since the time of the dinosaurs and remains a great plant for landscapes, borders, mass plantings, containers or above-ground planters. 

Common names are Cardboard Palm, Cardboard Cycad, Cardboard Plant, Jamaican Sago, Cardboard Sago and Mexican Cycad. It isn't a true palm, instead it's what is botanically known as a “Cycad.” Cycads and palms share similar leaf structures but are two unique types of plants. Other Cycads include the widely used King Sago, or Cycas revoluta.

As the most popular Cycad species in cultivation, this species can be grown in just about any room of your home. 

PLEASE NOTE, these plants are Toxic to Children, Dogs and Cats!
