About Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven'

Raven is the near-black ZZ Plant cultivar known for its colour transformation: new leaflets emerge a bright lime green and darken progressively to a deep near-black purple as they mature, so a single frond can show the whole gradient at once. It shares the standard ZZ Plant's drought-tolerant, low-light-friendly rhizomatous growth.

Before You Buy

Shared checklist for Zamioculcas zamiifolia and its cultivated forms

  • Widely available and inexpensive for the plain species: be cautious of pricing implying rarity unless it's a named form like 'Raven' or 'Variegata'
  • Check the base for firm, plump rhizomes rather than soft or shrivelled ones, since this is where the plant stores its water reserves
  • For 'Raven' or other named colour forms, confirm the leaf colour in photos matches the specific named cultivar rather than assuming any dark ZZ Plant is 'Raven'
  • Slow growth is normal for this species: don't expect rapid size increase even under good conditions
