Plant Description

The Encephalartos cerinus is a captivating cycad with a striking appearance. Its stiff, bluish-green leaves form a dense, symmetrical crown, creating a stunning contrast with the robust, barrel-shaped trunk. The leaves are pinnate, with each leaflet boasting a slightly curved, leathery texture and a fine, waxy coating that gives the plant a unique, cerulean hue. This rare and endangered species, native to South Africa, adds a touch of prehistoric charm to any garden or collection. Its resilience and slow growth make it a prized specimen for cycad enthusiasts.
