Product Description

The Matucana madisoniorum is a striking globular cactus native to Peru, admired for its smooth, rounded stem and vivid flowers. It has a spherical to slightly cylindrical shape, typically solitary but occasionally clustering. The stem is deep green to bluish-green, with faint ribs and minimal spines, giving it a sleek appearance. In late spring to summer, it produces spectacular trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, or pink, contrasting beautifully with the dark stem. Its compact size and vivid blooms make it perfect for pots or rock gardens.
