This listing is for 25+ Coontie seeds.

The Coontie aka the Florida Arrowroot (Zamia integrifolia) is a Florida native. It makes for a great accent plant for landscaping, with its bright orange fruit, which is not edible and should not be eaten. It is a primitive cycad plant that has been around for a long time. They add interest to the garden. They are near endangered, so growing this plant will help continue the survival of this great native plant.

Coontie is cold hardy to USDA zones 8 through 11.

Please note that seeds may come with the flesh on them. If the flesh arrives spoiled, this does not effect the viability of the seed.

Germination Instructions:
Coontie germinate slowly and erratically.

Germination Instructions: Scarify the seed coat with sandpaper. Soak seeds in water for 1-3 days. Plant seeds half-buried, lying horizontally or with the "pointy" end slightly up in a well draining potting mix. Germination takes 3–6 weeks to several months, with high heat speeding the process. Maintain temperature at 70-85 degrees F and keep soil consistently moist. Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Germination may take several (3-6) months to several years.
