About this plant

Cycas cincinalis, commonly known as the Queen Sago Palm, is a striking cycad native to India and Sri Lanka, renowned for its elegant, feathery fronds that emerge in a rich, deep green color, creating a lush, tropical appearance.

The Queen Sago Palm features a stout, slow-growing trunk topped with a crown of stiff, glossy leaves that provide year-round interest, making it a popular choice for landscape and container use in warm climates.
