Designer Notes

  • The ZZ produces thick stems with waxy leaves that branch-out like feathers.
  • These plants typically don’t grow larger than waist high and work effectively for creating privacy screens or as an attractive stand-alone plant.
  • Now widely popular, the ZZ was relatively unknown until Dutch growers introduced it as a houseplant in 1996.
