Ferocactus echidne – Barrel Cactus Seeds
$5.50
A medium-sized Mexican barrel from Hidalgo and Querétaro that stays manageable in a pot: a deep-green body to about 8–12 inches with golden-yellow spines and a ring of bright yellow flowers in late spring. Faster and more forgiving than many barrels, and offsets with age.
Germination
Easy. Surface-sow on a gritty mix, keep warm (75–85°F) and humid for two weeks; germination in 7–21 days.
What you'll receive
Fresh seed in the pack size you choose, with germination instructions included. The first image is an illustration of the species.
Care
Full sun, fast-draining soil, water when dry in the growing season and keep dry below 40°F.
About this seed
This is one of a small number of species we don't yet produce in quantity ourselves, so the seed is sourced from established US growers we trust, then stored cool and dry here on our farm in Blythe, California and sold fresh. Everything else we sell is grown on site in full desert sun.
Ships within 1 business day, Monday–Friday.
