Echinocactus grusonii 'Golden Barrel Multi Head' – A Rare, Sculptural Cactus Specimen

Make a bold statement in your garden or collection with the Golden Barrel Multi Head Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii), a rare and highly sought-after form of the iconic Golden Barrel Cactus. Native to Mexico, this mature, multi-headed specimen offers architectural beauty, vibrant color, and impressive size—making it a true showpiece for succulent and cactus enthusiasts.

Key Features

Multi-Headed Growth
Unlike the standard single-headed variety, this mature cactus features multiple globular heads that have grown together over time, creating a striking and sculptural cluster.

Iconic Barrel Shape
Each head forms a rounded, ribbed body that can reach up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. The ribs are lined with prominent yellow spines, providing a vivid contrast to the greenish-yellow skin.

Brilliant Summer Blooms
During summer, this cactus produces bright yellow flowers that emerge from the crown of the plant, followed by small greenish-yellow fruits that gradually ripen to brown.

Highly Resilient
Drought-tolerant and sun-loving, the Golden Barrel is easy to maintain and thrives in well-draining soil and bright, direct light.
