| Botanical Pronunciation | SI-cas re-VOL-u-ta |
|---|---|
| Lore | The seeds that develop at maturity and the foliage of the Sago Palm are considered highly toxic to cats and dogs. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Very slowly reaches 10 ft. tall, 8 ft, wide, with 3 to 6 ft. long fronds. |
| Bloom Time | Occasionally develops seed cones; prized for foliage. |
| Design Ideas | Not a true palm, this plant is a living fossil that is technically part conifer and part fern! It is stiff and broad, making a reliable palm-like effect in shaded gardens where space is limited. Ideal in Asian compositions or in a fern grotto. Super in tropical gardens with other foliage plants and hot-colored flowers. Grow as a single specimen and avoid crowding as it destroys its symmetry. |
