Ferocactus Pringlei

Image 1 Image 2 Image 3

The Red Mexican Fire Barrel (Ferocactus pringlei) is named after its incredibly deep red spines. Native to Mexico, the red fire barrel cactus blooms from May to September and produces beautiful red flowers. The Red Fire Barrel Cactus can grow to a whopping three feet tall and typically clusters as it matures. Our five gallon Mexican Red Fire Barrel cacti average 8" tall and 8" wide, and ten gallon cacti average 14" tall and 14" wide.

Ornamental Uses:

Xeriscaping: The Mexican Red Fire Barrel is commonly used in xeriscaping and desert-themed gardens due to its impressive size and stunning appearance.

Landscape Accent: The large and architectural nature of the Mexican Red Fire Barrel Cactus make it a popular choice as a focal point or accent plant in outdoor landscapes.

Container Gardening: In regions with colder climates, the Mexican Red Fire Barrel can be grown in containers and moved indoors during the winter to protect it from frost.

Drought-Tolerant Gardens: The Mexican Red Fire Barrel is well-suited for water-wise or drought-tolerant garden designs, because it thrives in dry and arid conditions.

Our shipping process guarantees your Mexican Red Fire Barrel cactus will arrive at your door in pristine condition and wrapped in a way that will make planting easy!

Barrel design and application suggestions:

Barrel cacti are very low maintenance and offer subtle beauty and interest. Our golden and red barrels offer great low maintenance color options for container gardeners or those looking to spruce up a landscape. A potted arrangement of cacti and succulents can always use a few barrel cacti for interest and contrast. In the landscape in suitable environments, barrel cacti look phenomenal in groupings. Barrel cacti will take relentless all day sun and moderate cold to the low twenties at night.

Why purchase our Barrel Cacti?

Our barrel cacti are grown in their native habitat right here in Southern Arizona. Raised outdoors with just the right amount of water and fertilizer, they come to you in their natural form. These plants do not come to you from a greenhouse. They are already hardy to whatever growing conditions you have to offer. Our barrel cacti present the same appearance as you will find them in their native habitats.

If you want to plant them in a container for a sunroom, patio or window planter, great! If you want to take your agaves and plant them in the ground, also great! No acclimation needed. Our plants are ready to go!

Since our son has moved to Arizona, we have fallen in love with cacti. Our beautiful cactus has added so much to our deck here on the east coat. We just love its striking colors. Can't wait to order more!
