Product Description

The Echinocereus polyacanthus is a remarkable cactus celebrated for its robust and vibrant appearance. It typically forms clusters of cylindrical stems, each adorned with numerous spines ranging in color from white to yellow to reddish-brown. The stems are dark green and ribbed, providing a striking contrast to its brilliant flowers. During late spring to early summer, this cactus blooms with large, showy flowers that can be red, pink, or magenta. Native to the arid regions of Mexico and the southwestern United States, the Echinocereus polyacanthus is resilient and visually stunning.
