Echinocereus triglochidiatus is a beautiful plant with long-lasting, waxy, scarlet flowers, which make it a favorite among gardeners. In general, it is a mounding cactus, forming bulbous piles from a few to hundreds of spherical to cylindrical stems.
Plants may vary from densely spiny (usually) to no spines at all. E. triglochidiatus is the most wide-spread of the Echinocereus species and is also the most variable in appearance. In fact, the several varieties are so different-looking that the only uniting factor is the bright red bloom and rounded petals.
