| Encephalartos horridus(Please click on the picture to enlarge it for a detailed view) Also known as the Eastern Cape Blue Cycad, this is the leading plant from the famous group of blue cycads from South Africa. It prefers full sun, in a very well drained soil. In habitat, it grows in open rocky areas, in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. A small-to-medium-sized cycad, it grows to 3 feet in trunk height, often forming a dense clump with multiple stems. Its hard, sharply pointed, blue-gray erect leaves are stunning in a garden setting. This plant is very attractive among succulent plants, on its own as an accent plant or with low green shrubs to provide contrast. It is frost tolerant.
WHAT IS CAUDEX SIZE? You’ll notice we list and price cycads by caudex size. The caudex is a cycad’s woody, bulblike trunk, and caudex size is a good measure of cycad age. The chart below can give you a rough idea of how this translates to pot size.
