Notes

'Raven' zz plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven') is a houseplant for containers, indoor spaces, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade, average moisture, and sandy soil. Its near-black leaves arch gracefully and grow slowly, so it stays tidy for years. Keep it away from pets and children, because it is mildly toxic.

Pairs well with Lady fern, Lenten rose, and Evergold sedge.
