Our Cactus Species Mixed seeds contains five species of perennial cacti species. Cacti are a fantastic, extremely low-maintenance way to add greenery to your house or garden. Cactuses can grow in poor soil conditions — in fact, they love sandy or rocky soil. Cactuses also don't need to be watered often. They actually prefer to stay dry! Cactuses are long-lasting, hardy, and will put on a beautiful display when they flower. Cactuses are fantastic little houseplants. Pop them in a miniature colourful pot, place them in a sunny position, then set and forget!

Our Cactus Species Mix contains random quantities of the following seed varieties:

Saguaro Cactus (Carnegia gigantea) — The Saguaro Cactus is a tall, skinny, tree-like cactus that form branches (otherwise known as 'arms'). The spines of the Saguaro Cactus are small and white. This variety of cactus produces strong-scented white flowers at the top of the stems and the cactus arms in the late spring.

Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) —  The Golden Barrel Cactus is a short, round-shaped cactus with long golden spines. The colour of cactus is pale- to lime- green and they sprout bright yellow flowers in late spring.

Strawberry Cactus or Hedgehog Cactus or Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus (Echincereus enneacanth) — The Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus is affectionately named after the lifeform it resembles. The Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus can form small clumps of 100 (or more) individual stems by the time it reaches maturity. In the summer, these stems develop large, show-stopping, bright pink-purple (or 'strawberry') coloured flowers.

Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus sp.) — Barrel Cactuses are large and attractive individual barrel-shaped stems. The flowers of a Barrel Cactus are small but generally form a ring around the tip of the cactus. Barrel Cactuses have ridges that run vertically down the stem, and are covered with both long and short spines.

Arizona Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus wislizeni) — Arizona Barrel Cactuses are usually a singular, cylindrical shaped cactus. Rarely does this variety have multiple stems. The Arizona Barrel Cactus has between 15 to 30 ribs with small groupings of spines running down each rib. Similar to other Barrel Cactuses, the Arizona Barrel Cactus produces a ring of flowers around the tip of its stem.
