Product Description

Ferocactus gracilis is an elegant and eye-catching barrel cactus, native to the desert regions of Baja California, Mexico. It features a glossy green cylindrical body with sharply defined ribs and is renowned for its long, slender, and often twisted central spines that can be brilliant red, pink, or orange. These vividly colored spines form a dramatic lattice over the cactus. In late summer, it produces bright yellow to reddish flowers at its crown, making it a standout in any arid landscape.
