    Hedgehog Cactus

    Echinocereus engelmannii

    The Hedgehog Cactus is a small succulent named after the animal, it resembles the shape of a hedgehog due to its short stems that slowly grow into a solid mount of spiny stems.

    The Old Man Cactus is one of the most unique-looking species of cacti available in the southwest. It has lightly colored cactus flesh and is covered with white, hair-like growth covering the length of the cactus. The white woolly hair greatly resembles an elderly man's beard or hair. The unique color of the Old Man Cactus makes it a popular choice when adding color contrast to desert landscapes.

    During the late spring, and occasionally during fall, the Old Man Cactus blooms a bright pink to light red flower that looks amazing against the white background. The Old Man Cactus is weather tolerant but will look its best with periodic irrigation, especially during the summer. The Old Man Cactus' beard keeps it warm enough to thrive in our winters. It thrives in tough, dry landscapes, often in areas with little rainfall. This plant is popular as an ornamental cactus due to its unique appearance and low maintenance, making it a favorite in desert gardens and as a houseplant. Visit any of our locations to view this beautiful specimen and allow one of our nursery pros to help you pick the perfect spot to plant in your landscape.
