Trichocereus chilensis – Quisco Cactus Seeds
$6.50
The quisco of central Chile: a stout, heavily spined columnar cactus that forms candelabra clumps to 20 feet in habitat, with large white flowers near the stem tips. Tougher and spinier than its Peruvian cousins, it tolerates cold and drought well and makes a striking landscape plant in warm, dry climates.
Germination
Easy. Surface-sow on a gritty mix, keep warm (75–85°F) and humid; germination in 1–3 weeks.
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, well-drained soil, regular summer water and a dry winter. Hardy to the low 20s°F when dry.
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.
