Product Description

Eriosyce crispa var. huascensis (syn. Pyrrocactus huascensis) is a captivating cactus native to the arid regions of Chile. This variety is characterized by its globular to slightly cylindrical shape, often forming clusters over time. The stem is typically dark green, covered in prominent ribs with tubercles. It is adorned with dense, sharp spines that range in color from white to yellowish-brown, giving it a rugged appearance. During the blooming season, it produces small, bright yellow flowers that emerge from the crown, contrasting beautifully with its spiny exterior. This cactus thrives in well-drained soils and is well-suited to xeriscaping.
