Zamia furfuracea or Cardboard Palm is an evolutionary relic of the Cycad family. This species has been around since dinosaurs ruled the Earth and provides a prehistoric feeling atmosphere to many landscapes. While these plants do not produce a bloom, the stalk from which they bear fruit is very showy and beautiful. Cardboard Palm seed stalks are a brilliant shade of red.

Cardboard Palm was named the 2007 Florida Plant of the Year by the Florida Nursery Growers & Landscape Association (FNGLA) because it is so easy to grow. Not suitable for environments with pets or children. These cycads adapt well to potted conditions when placed in an area with plenty of light and are not overwatered. The growth habit of the Cardboard Palm is a mounding pattern that reaches 3-5 ft in height and as far as 8 ft. in diameter.
