Product Description

The Echinocereus enneacanthus is a stunning cactus known for its dense spines and beautiful blooms. It typically forms clusters of cylindrical stems with a dark green hue. The stems are lined with numerous ribs and areoles, from which emerge clusters of long, sharp spines that can be white, yellow, or brown. In spring, it produces large, striking flowers that are vibrant pink or magenta. Native to the arid regions of Mexico and the southern United States, the Echinocereus enneacanthus is hardy and visually captivating, making it an excellent addition to any cactus collection.
