Product Description

Copiapoa griseoviolacea is a striking, slow-growing cactus native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. This grafted variety showcases an attractive, bluish-grey body with a matte finish, contrasting beautifully with its dark purple hues that emerge under stress. The rounded stems can form clumps over time, adorned with sharp, black spines. Its delicate, funnel-shaped yellow flowers bloom in summer, adding a vibrant touch to this desert gem. The plant’s rugged, sculptural appearance makes it a sought-after addition to succulent collections, especially when grafted for easier cultivation.
