Ancient Palm Seeds - Tropical Ornamental Palm Seeds for Planting

Ancient palm seeds refer to cycad plants such as the sago palm, one of the oldest surviving seed plants on Earth. Despite the name, it is not a true palm but a prehistoric cycad with a strong, symmetrical crown of stiff, glossy fronds. It is widely valued in ornamental landscaping and container gardening for its bold, architectural form and extreme longevity. The plant thrives in warm climates and prefers well-drained soil.
