The Sago Palm, scientifically known as Cycas revoluta, is a striking and ancient plant known for its dramatic, feathery fronds that radiate from a central trunk. Despite its name, the Sago Palm is not a true palm but a cycad, one of the oldest plant groups on Earth. This hardy plant is admired for its bold, architectural form and glossy, dark green leaves, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor decoration. The Sago Palm is slow-growing and can live for many years, adding a touch of timeless beauty to your space.
