The Cardboard Palm is a low-growing, cycad-like plant known for its thick, stiff, blue-green leaflets that resemble textured cardboard. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and shows excellent tolerance to heat, drought, and coastal conditions. With its bold, tropical form and compact growth habit, this plant is ideal for foundation plantings, accent beds, and xeric or modern landscape designs where a durable, architectural specimen is desired.
