Product Description

The Matucana yanganucensis is a stunning globular cactus native to the high Andes of Peru. It features rounded, slightly flattened stems that are bright green with prominent ribs adorned with clusters of short, golden-yellow spines. These spines radiate in neat patterns, giving the cactus a textured, ornamental appearance. In late spring to summer, it produces spectacular trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, or pink, contrasting beautifully with the green body. Its compact size and vivid blooms make it perfect for rock gardens or decorative pots.
