Product Description

The Echinocereus boyce-thompsonii is a captivating cactus noted for its dense spines and beautiful blooms. This cactus typically forms clusters of cylindrical stems with a dark green hue. The stems are lined with pronounced ribs and areoles, from which emerge clusters of long, sharp spines that can be white, yellow, or brown. In spring, it produces large, vibrant flowers that range from pink to magenta, creating a stunning visual display. Native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico, the Echinocereus boyce-thompsonii is hardy and visually appealing, making it a delightful addition to any cactus collection.
