Product Description

Echinocereus rigidissimus var. rubrispinus, also known as the Rainbow Hedgehog Cactus, is a stunning, cylindrical cactus distinguished by its dense, vivid pink and red spines. Growing compactly and forming a singular column, this cactus can eventually reach 20–30 cm when mature. Its spines create a beautiful, colorful pattern, with new growth often appearing more intense in color. In spring or early summer, the cactus produces large, funnel-shaped magenta-pink flowers, adding to its visual appeal. This variety’s unique color and form make it highly desirable among cactus enthusiasts.
