Product Description

The Dioon purpusii is a majestic and slow-growing cycad native to the subtropical regions of Mexico. Its elegant, upright trunk is crowned by a spectacular rosette of stiff, pinnate leaves that are silvery-green to bluish-gray, creating a striking appearance. Each leaf is composed of slender, rigid leaflets with a slightly serrated edge, giving it a unique texture. This prehistoric plant exudes an ancient beauty, often forming multiple trunks over time. It thrives in rocky terrains and is renowned for its drought resistance and ability to lend a bold, sculptural presence to gardens.
