daphniphyllum-macropodum-3

Daphniphyllum macropodum

Daphniphyllum macropodum is a truly impressive evergreen tree. The young growth in spring resembles masses of miniature Cycads and has red hues. Older foliage sits as a rosette with a downward arch and is dark green. The combination of old and new foliage produces quite a dramatic display and affords the tree a lush appearance. Clusters of small, cream flowers in spring result in purple berries in autumn. It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of moderate frost once established. This evergreen is typically grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a courtyard garden, included in a tropical garden, or planted around outdoor living areas.

Why Choose Cycad Plants?

Cycads are renowned for their tough, slow-growing nature and impressive, palm-like appearance. These prehistoric plants are drought-tolerant and can withstand coastal winds, making them ideal for low-maintenance gardens, feature planting, or as dramatic indoor specimens. If you’re after a resilient plant that brings architectural flair and a touch of the exotic, cycad plants deliver timeless beauty.

Our Range of Cycad Plants for Sale

We stock a wide selection of cycad plants for sale, suitable for both beginner gardeners and seasoned growers:

How to Grow and Care for Cycads

Cycad plants are easy to grow given the right conditions. They prefer well-drained soil and benefit from being planted in raised beds or decorative pots to avoid waterlogging. In most New Zealand climates, cycads appreciate a sheltered, sunny aspect but will tolerate partial shade. A yearly feed with a slow-release fertiliser and occasional deep watering during dry periods help keep your plants looking their best.

Regularly check for old or yellowing fronds near the base and remove them cleanly to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance.

Landscaping Ideas with Cycad Plants

Cycad plants stand out as feature specimens in modern, subtropical, and xeriscape gardens. Group them with boulders, succulents, or low-growing grasses to create a striking effect. For more texture contrast, pair cycads with broad-leafed trees like Daphniphyllum macropodum. Cycads also thrive in large containers, allowing you to bring their bold look to patios and courtyards.
