Product Description

Mammillaria confusa is a fascinating, globular cactus often confused with similar species due to its variable features—hence the name. It bears dense white radial spines and a few hooked central spines, giving it a bristly, star-like texture. Native to San Luis Potosí, Mexico, this species blooms with lovely pink to magenta flowers at the crown during warm months. Its compact growth, slight clustering, and graceful symmetry make it a desirable subject for cactus collectors and arid landscape designers.
