Product Description

The Leuchtenbergia principis (Red-Pink Form) is an exceptional cactus known for its distinctive agave-like appearance and rare red-pink flowers. Its long, triangular tubercles resemble slender leaves, giving it a rosette-like structure. These blue-green tubercles end in papery, twisted yellow spines that add a delicate, ornamental touch. In late spring to summer, it produces stunning funnel-shaped flowers in shades of red to pink, contrasting beautifully with the bluish stems. Its unusual form and vibrant blooms make it a prized addition to any cactus collection.
