Product Description
Acanthocalycium glaucum WR872 is a rare, locality-specific cactus from the highlands of northwestern Argentina, notable for its distinctive bluish-green (glaucous) epidermis and elegant radial symmetry. The globular to short cylindrical stem features defined ribs and woolly areoles with stiff, yellowish to brown spines. This WR872 form is especially admired for its striking contrast between body and spines. It produces delicate funnel-shaped flowers, typically creamy yellow to pale pink, near the apex during the warm season. A collector’s gem with a refined, armored look.
