HOW TO USE THIS PAGE:

Below are listed many cycads that one can grow. 
Species are presented in various ways: 

      Overall size of the mature plant
      Sun requirements
      Speed of growth
      Cold hardiness
      Drought and heat tolerance
      Cycads with unusual leaves/leaflets
      Cycads with blue leaves.
     

When you click on a species, you will go to a new page on each species.  There, you'll probably be able to view multiple photos of that species.  The lists of species given are not meant to be complete lists.  On each group there are many others available.  But, it will give the reader some ideas of what to grow.   
 

 

 

 


This is a question that an article like this cannot answer without considering first the points previously discussed. Ultimately, however, you should choose what you like. At the nursery, we often ask people about where they live and what they are trying to accomplish. They often simply tell us that they like cycads. We typically try to guide them to the right plants by considering many of the points discussed above. Once these variables are discussed, it is quite easy to come up with choices. For the purposes of this article, we will give you a few simple ideas and guidelines that you can follow. These examples are not meant to be the only species meeting these requirements, but rather examples that would accomplish a given goal. Always adjust these choices according to your particular locality and conditions. Please read below.

Conclusion

Although not an enormous subject, landscaping with cycads does require that one learns about cycads or deals with a cycad nursery that knows their stock and cycad culture. When added to any landscape design, cycads add to the beauty of the garden like no other group of plants. Cycads are not inexpensive plants; yet many are quite affordable. And, cycads are good growers. A small seedling on some species can be a stately specimen in less than a decade. If you have any questions about cycads or would like to purchase cycads, please contact us. Our contact information is given throughout the website.  Below are a few reference sources that you may wish to read for more information.
