Product Description
Copiapoa hornilloensis is a remarkable desert cactus species native to Chile. This Chilean Copiapoa exhibits a unique rounded form with dense clusters of tubercles and spines. Gardeners value its compact growth and subtle grey-green color, making it an excellent choice for xeriscape gardens.
