Ocotillo

🌵 Fouquieria splendens: The iconic Ocotillo

New to the Cactus Outlet just in time for Spring 2025!

We now have seed-grown Ocotillos in 5gal containers!
Supplies are limited.

Want to infuse your landscape with the fiery elegance of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts? Fouquieria splendens, better known as the Ocotillo, is a mesmerizing, architectural wonder that bursts into color when in bloom. Native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, this resilient desert native is a must-have for anyone seeking bold desert beauty.

Now offering a limited supply of larger rooted Ocotillo plants! The plant that is pictured is the one you receive.

This hardy, drought-tolerant succulent shrub thrives in climate zones 7-11.

🌟 Why You’ll Love the Ocotillo:

🌿 Dramatic Form & Texture: The Ocotillo grows as a cluster of tall, wand-like canes that reach upward from a central base. When leafed out, it's lush and green; when bare, its silhouette remains striking and sculptural.

🔥 Brilliant Blooms: In spring and after summer rains, Ocotillo erupts with vibrant red-orange tubular flowers atop each cane, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators with their fiery flair.

❄️ Desert Tough: Ocotillo thrives in extreme desert climates, from blazing heat to cooler winter temps. It does well in USDA zones 7 through 10 and can handle temps down to 10°F once established.

💧 Drought-Adapted Wonder: This drought-deciduous plant sheds leaves in dry spells to conserve moisture, making it perfectly suited for xeriscaping and water-wise gardens.

🌿 A Showstopper in Any Landscape or Decorative Pot:

🏜 Sculptural Desert Elegance: Ocotillo brings vertical drama and natural rhythm to Southwestern, modern, or minimalist garden designs.

☀️ Low-Maintenance Resilience: Thriving in full sun with well-draining soil, Ocotillo rewards minimal care with seasonal bursts of color and year-round interest.

Springs right back!

This is the first time I've bought a bare root cactus (although technically I guess it's a shrub). I've bought the large, cut-from-the-ground type from big box stores before, and those take time to get going. I planted this one, waited a week per the instructions, and watered it (and monsoon season hit). Within a week it was full of leaves, and I think it's getting ready to flower! Very glad to see that it's already establishing itself.
