Plant Description

The Encephalartos senticosus is a visually striking cycad native to the mountainous regions of South Africa and Swaziland. It features long, arching blue-green leaves with stiff, glossy leaflets that have sharp, spiny edges, giving the plant a fierce and dramatic appearance. The trunk can reach up to 1.5 meters in height, often growing multiple stems. The cones are large and cylindrical, with male cones being slender and female cones more robust and barrel-shaped, typically displaying a vibrant yellow or orange hue. The Encephalartos senticosus is prized for its unique, bold look and is a sought-after addition to ornamental gardens and landscapes.
