We've recently been working with a number of African suppliers outside of South Africa, who grow rare plants from throughout Africa. This has resulted in our importing the plants you see listed below. To give you an incentive to commit early, for a limited time, we are offering significant pre-import discounts on these plants. We have listed the plants below, including their size and prices. You will see that the prices at least 20% discounted from the prices at which we will sell them in our nursery, once they've been potted up. We also list the initial quantity available, prior to any purchases. If any of these plants interest you, please take the opportunity to reserve your plant by clicking on the "Order" button below. Encephalartos munchii (blue form) This is the extremely rare blue form of this plant from the Zembe Mountain region of Mozambique. The parent stock of these plants is among the bluest of the E. munchii plants that have come out of Mozambique. These are highly desirable plants. Encephalartos cerinus Encephalartos cerinus is among the rarest of the South African cycads. It maintains a waxen coating on its leaves and cones, unlike any other species of Encephalartos. Described in 1989, only 2 small colonies of this species were ever found, neither of which still exists. Encephalartos laevifolius Until now, we have never been able to get this rare cycad featuring silvery blue-green leaves and fine leaflets. It comes from 3 different restricted habitats in South Africa. It is considered rare and endangered. Encephalartos eugene maraisii This is the first described species among the blue-leaved cycads in Transvaal province, discovered by the writer and naturalist, Eugene Marais. It is native to South Africa and it is distinguished within this group of blue-leaved Transvaal species by its straight leaves which curve downward at the ends, entire (spineless) median leaflets Encephalartos cupidus This is an extremely rare plant from the Northern (Limpopo) Province of South Africa. It has beautiful blue-green leaves. This very decorative cycad is considered extremely rare, because of its limited habitat. Encephalartos inopinus This beautiful cycad with grey-green spineless leaves tends to be the most desired by rare cycad collectors. Its cones, stems and leaves are totally unlike other South African cycads. Encephalartos nubimontanus This striking cycad with grey-blue leaves comes from a very limited habitat in the Northern Province. Encephalartos caffer This extremely rare dwarf, subterranean stemmed cycad is the southernmost cycad species in South Africa. Its light green leaflets are often clustered on the leaf in a plumose fashion. It is rarely seen in gardens. Encephalartos humilis This smaller cycad with very fine, grayish wooly leaflets comes from the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. It is heat and frost tolerant. Encephalartos princeps This plant is considered the rarest among the blue cycads from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Encephalartos concinnus A rare plant from Zimbabwe and Mozambique, occuring in small colonies. It grows to 10 feet in trunk height, often producing multiple trunks and multiple branches. Its straight leaves are dark green in color, with a distinct blue accent for those plants growing in the shade. It grows in a hot, dry habitat. Encephalartos umbeluziensis This rare small cycad has a subterranean trunk and erect leaves up to 6 feet long. It belongs to the group including E. ngoyanus, E. cerinus and E. aplanatus, distinguished within this group by its long dark green leaves, spine-free petiole, well-spaced leaflets bearing 1-2 teeth on the lower margins, and lack of wool in the crown. It comes from Mozambique and Swaziland, in the valley of the Umbeluzi River.
