Echinocactus grusonii – Golden Barrel Cactus Seeds

You will receive organically grown seeds of Echinocactus grusonii, commonly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus. This iconic round cactus is prized for its striking spherical shape and golden spines, and is one of the most sun-tolerant cacti in the world. It is frequently used as a landscape cactus in extremely hot desert environments due to its remarkable heat and sun resistance.

All seeds are harvested from plants grown on-site at our self-sustained, pesticide-free nursery in Blythe, California, located in the Sonoran Desert. We do not source seeds or plants from outside suppliers—everything is propagated and grown here under natural desert conditions.

The Golden Barrel Cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight and warm temperatures, making it ideal for growers in hot, sunny climates. It grows slowly but steadily and is well-suited for those looking to cultivate a classic, hardy desert cactus from seed.

Seeds are shipped in a secure vial to protect them during shipping. Detailed germination and growing instructions are included, outlining germination time expectations to help you prepare.
