Product Description
The Ferocactus pottsii, known as the Potts’ barrel cactus, is an impressive giant specimen cactus, native to the arid regions of Mexico.

The spines form a dramatic contrast against the green to blue-green body, adding to its sculptural beauty. When mature, it produces vibrant yellow flowers atop its crown, making the Ferocactus pottsii a standout in any desert landscape or collection. Its giant size and fierce appearance give it a commanding presence.
