Echinocactus grusonii, commonly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus, is a striking desert plant prized for its bold, spherical shape and vibrant golden spines. This iconic cactus features thick, ribbed stems that are a rich green color, and as it matures, it develops clusters of brilliant yellow spines that give it its characteristic "golden" appearance. Typically growing up to 3 feet in height and width, the Golden Barrel Cactus is known for its hardy, low-maintenance nature, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant and can withstand harsh, arid conditions, making it a perfect addition to xeriscapes, rock gardens, or as a decorative specimen in containers. Its distinctive look and resilience have earned it a special place among cactus enthusiasts and desert gardeners.
While they are not able to withstand harsh frost, they can be moved indoors to a sunny windowsill or under a grow light in the event of freezing temps.
