Welcome to the world of the red-spined barrel cactus, also known as Ferocactus schwarzii, a vibrant member of the Ferocactus genus. This stunning cactus boasts a striking appearance with its funnel-shaped yellow and blue-violet flowers and globose stem covered in vibrant red spines.
Native to Mexico, this slow-growing plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought tolerant - making it an excellent choice for those who aren't blessed with green thumbs. However, beware!
