Cycas revoluta

PLANT PROFILE

Cycas revoluta, commonly known as Sago Palm, is a striking, slow-growing evergreen cycad with a symmetrical rosette of stiff, deep green, glossy, feather-like fronds. Despite the name, it's not a true palm — but offers a distinctly tropical look and architectural form.

Typically growing 1 to 2 metres high and 1 to 2 metres wide, it produces a thick, textured trunk and a neat crown of fronds that unfurl with a soft lime colour before deepening. It thrives in full sun to part shade, tolerates drought once established, and performs well in pots or garden beds. It is excellent for creating a bold focal point in modern, tropical, or coastal gardens.

They look excellent when planted as feature specimens in pots, repeated along paths or entrances, or used in formal designs for texture and symmetry. Suitable for a wide range of climates, it offers year-round evergreen structure with very little maintenance required.

  1. Choose a sunny to partly shaded position with free-draining soil.
  2. Avoid frost pockets — protect young plants in cooler zones.
  3. Backfill with native soil and water in thoroughly.
  4. Do not plant too deep — keep the top of the crown above soil level.
  5. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds (keep mulch away from the trunk).

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
