Dioon edule X Dioon tomasellii (ex Strina Nursery)

The hybrid Dioon edule Dioon tomasellii is a striking cycad showcasing the best of both parent species. Its stiff, arching fronds form a symmetrical rosette, often radiating from a short, subterranean caudex. The leaves are a rich blue-green to silvery-green, more slender than D. edule but denser than D. tomasellii, with finely serrated margins. Slow-growing and prehistoric in appearance, this hybrid brings a textural elegance and subtle drama to any arid or subtropical garden setting.
