Ferocactus glaucescens cv URASAKI 2 heads (ex Japan import)

Ferocactus glaucescens, commonly known as the Blue Barrel Cactus, stands as a striking and robust succulent native to Mexico. This formidable cactus earns its name from the distinctive blue-gray hue of its stout, barrel-shaped body, which is accentuated by prominent ribs adorned with stout spines.

Slow-growing and long-lived, the Blue Barrel Cactus can reach impressive sizes over time. Its spines, varying in length and color, provide a formidable defense against herbivores and curious onlookers. During the warmer months, the cactus may produce vibrant yellow or red flowers, adding a touch of color to its arid surroundings.

Adapted to thrive in well-draining soil and full sunlight, Ferocactus glaucescens is well-suited to arid landscapes and xeriscaping projects. Its resilience and low-maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for those seeking a striking and enduring addition to succulent gardens or container arrangements.

Whether standing solitary in the desert or contributing to a collection of cacti, Ferocactus glaucescens is not only an emblem of arid beauty but also a testament to the tenacity and adaptability of plants in challenging environments.

Ferocactus glaucescens cv URASAKI is a rare Japanese nudum cultivar of Ferocactus glaucescens from inermis with very wide nudum areolas upon ribs.
