Lace Hedgehog Cactus 'High Desert Pink'

Echinocereus reichenbachii  x

Various Sized Plants (Cold Hardy -20F!)

This variation is thought to be a hybrid of Echinocereus reichenbachii and another unknown Echinocereus hedgehog cactus, producing tall, singular, mostly solitary plants with vivid hot pink flowers in spring. One of the tallest Lace Hedgehog cactus varieties eventually maturing to 10-15" high by as much wide. Perfect for USDA zones 5-10. This plant grows quite quickly and will generally have light, lime green colorations with shorter and compact spines that can be touched, making for easy handling!

These plants have been growing in our cold high desert climate for many years on our personal property near Bend, Oregon and have seen temperatures well below -10F!! Very hardy and easy to grow, moderate to fast growers, you will have a full plant in just two or three seasons!

Monthly deep watering from spring through fall will enhance its spring flowering cycle and help maintain good character. This is a must have for any serious desert or xeriscape gardener!
