Cycas revoluta (also known as the Sago Palm) is a very slow-growing, primitive cycad that is often referred to as a 'living fossil'. It has dark green feathery leaves atop a rugged trunk. This is a particularly hardy and long-living species that will grow in most conditions. It is an eye-catching specimen and great for tropical and formal planting schemes, mass-planted, around a pool, and works especially well in decorative containers highlighting its sculptural form. The sago palm is also a popular, easy-care houseplant and makes an interesting addition to nearly any room. Take care near walkways as the foliage is quite spiky.
