Product Description

The Encephalartos inopinus is a rare and visually striking cycad known for its unique, silvery-blue foliage that distinguishes it from other cycads. Its long, arching fronds grow in a symmetrical rosette, with stiff, slender leaflets that create a graceful, feather-like appearance. The leaflets are unusually twisted, giving each frond a subtle, almost metallic sheen that intensifies in sunlight. Native to a limited range in South Africa, this slow-growing cycad eventually forms a short, thick trunk that enhances its architectural beauty, making it a prized choice among collectors and landscape designers.
