Product Description
Ferocactus acanthodes var. rostii is a rare desert gem, forming a robust barrel to columnar shape with deep vertical ribs and fierce twisted central spines that shimmer in red, orange, or amber tones. Native to the Baja California peninsula, this variety is prized for its rugged beauty and can reach impressive heights over time. Its spines often spiral outward in dramatic fashion, creating a wild, sculptural appearance. Summer brings bright yellow to orange flowers that emerge in a tight crown, contrasting vividly with the plant's armored surface.
