Cold tolerant cycad species: Cycads for cold or frost

These are plants that can handle down to freezing temperatures on an annual basis. Some of these cycad species can handle into the 20's or event teens Fahrenheit, most with some protection. Our general recommendation is that if you're "testing" a cycad for its cold hardiness, you'll want to protect its caudex by mulching over it or covering most of it with coarse soil.
