Coontie
Zamia pumila

The Coontie is a hardy, low-growing cycad native to Florida, known for its dense clumps of stiff, glossy, feather-like leaves. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and is highly tolerant of drought, sandy sites, and coastal conditions. As a native and historically significant species, it is ideal for naturalistic landscapes, pollinator gardens, and areas needing a tough, low-maintenance, Florida-friendly accent plant.
