Product Description

Echinocereus scopulorum is a captivating cactus known for its cylindrical stems that form clumping mounds. The stems, covered with dense, white spines, provide a striking visual contrast against the plant’s dark green body. During late spring to early summer, this cactus produces vibrant magenta flowers that bloom from the upper sections of the stems, adding a splash of color to its spiky appearance. Each flower can reach up to 7 cm in diameter. Echinocereus scopulorum is ideal for cactus collections and rock gardens due to its unique form and stunning blooms.
