Cacti - Echinocereus Polycantha - Donna Ana-130mm

Echinocereus polyacanthus ‘Donna Ana’ – Hardy Clumping Cactus with Striking Pink Blooms

Spiny Texture. Bold Color. Drought-Tolerant Beauty.

Echinocereus polyacanthus ‘Donna Ana’ is a rugged, clump-forming cactus prized for its dramatic contrast between dense spination and vivid magenta-pink flowers. Native to arid landscapes of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, this tough cactus offers both sculptural form and a seasonal burst of color.

Features:

• Brilliant Flowers: Large, funnel-shaped blooms in vibrant shades of pink to magenta during spring and early summer.
• Dense Spination: Covered in long, white to yellowish spines that form a protective and attractive coat.
• Clumping Growth: Forms clusters over time, making it perfect for rock gardens or container displays.
• Drought-Tolerant: Well-adapted to dry climates and minimal water conditions.

Care Tips:

• Light: Requires full sun to thrive and bloom abundantly. Best placed in a sunny, well-ventilated area.
• Watering: Water sparingly—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
• Soil: Use gritty, well-draining cactus soil. Avoid moisture-retaining mixes.
• Temperature: Heat-tolerant and cold hardy down to around -12°C (10°F) if kept dry. Ideal for outdoor gardens in arid regions or as a container specimen.
• Propagation: Can be propagated from seeds or by separating offsets.
