Ferocactus wislizeni cristata – Crested Fishhook Barrel Cactus Seeds
Seed collected from crested (cristata) Ferocactus wislizeni, the fishhook barrel of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, known for its hooked central spines and orange-yellow flowers. Cresting isn't guaranteed from seed, but these come from crested parents and may carry the trait, so some seedlings may crest. Most will grow as normal barrels.
Germination
Easy. Germination in 7–21 days at 75–85°F. Any cresting usually shows as the seedling grows.
What you'll receive
