Product Description

The Encephalartos horridus is a stunning, prehistoric-looking cycad known for its spiky, metallic-blue leaves arranged in rosettes. These rigid, arching fronds give the plant a fierce and sculptural appearance, making it highly sought after in botanical gardens and xeriscapes. The robust trunk, often hidden beneath a dense leaf canopy, stores water, enabling the plant to withstand droughts. Native to South Africa, Encephalartos horridus exemplifies resilience and architectural elegance, with its sharp, spiny foliage adapted to deter herbivores in its natural habitat.
