Zanzibar Akebono
Zanzibar Akebono
Zanzibar Akebono is a glowing twist on the classic ZZ, with upright stems and luminous new foliage in shades of buttery yellow, chartreuse and fresh green. The veining gives each leaflet an almost stained-glass look, making this plant feel sculptural, polished and quietly dramatic all at once. Akebono is a variegated form of Zamioculcas zamiifolia, with new growth often emerging pale yellow or cream before deepening over time.
A beautiful choice for collectors and for anyone who loves low-fuss plants with a little extra personality, this one brings brightness without asking for much in return. It keeps the easy-going nature ZZ plants are loved for, but with colour that makes every new stem feel special.
