Product Description

Ferocactus glaucescens cv. Urasaki is a rare and visually arresting cultivar of the classic blue barrel cactus, known for its glaucous blue-green epidermis and tightly arranged ribs lined with strikingly contrasting golden to coppery spines. What sets 'Urasaki' apart is its particularly refined symmetry, often forming a near-perfect sphere. In summer, it produces yellow funnel-shaped flowers at the apex. This collector’s gem combines sculptural elegance with bold desert charm.
