How small were they? You might have had better luck with larger plants
(assuming that they had been grown outdoors in a location that gets some
winter frosts so that they would not be so shocked by your climate). But
then you would have had a much larger $$ risk, since the big ones are
pricey.

Also, 7b's a pretty marginal zone for cycas revolutas. Were the three that
survived in more protected locations than the others?

Just curious,

I live in Zone 7b South Carolina. I bought a few small Cycas revoluta
(Sago Palm) last year to see
if they could handle my climate. Almost all of them died over the winter,
and the three that
survived haven't put on any new leaves.

As an update, I looked at the largest of my three surviving Sagos today,
and it has a throw of 8
leaves coming out from the top.
