Echinocactus grusonii

Golden Barrel Cactus

This Mexico desert native can be used in rows for a modern look or spotted individually throughout a landscape for a more natural feel. Their slow growth habit means they should be purchased at or close to their desired size as they can take many years to expand or grow. Mature plants produce offsets and can eventually grow very wide.

  • Drought-tolerant; suitable for xeriscaping
  • Striking round shape with dramatic golden color
  • Truly gets better with age
