Holly Leaved Cycad
Encephalartos ferox

The Holly-Leaved Cycad is a striking, medium-sized cycad known for its stiff, glossy, holly-like leaflets with sharply serrated edges. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and shows strong tolerance to heat and drought. With its bold texture, upright form, and dramatic architectural presence, this cycad serves as an exceptional specimen plant for tropical, desert, and modern landscape designs where a rugged, sculptural accent is desired.
