Twisted Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus herrerae) 🌵🌞

Bring the unique charm of the Twisted Barrel Cactus to your landscape! Known for its spiral twist as it grows, this barrel cactus stands out with its remarkable structure and vibrant flowers.

Habitat and Origin 🏜️

Native to the Pacific coast of Mexico, especially in Colima and Jalisco, the Twisted Barrel Cactus thrives in rocky and sandy soils that drain well. This species is built for arid conditions and loves full sunlight.

Growth Habit 🌵

As a solitary grower, this cactus forms a strong, barrel shape with prominent ribs and spines. Over time, its body begins to twist, creating a dynamic look that only intensifies as it grows taller (slowly reaching up to 6 feet!). This twisting habit begins to show once the cactus reaches around two feet tall, setting it apart from other barrel cacti.

Mature Size 📏

At maturity, the Twisted Barrel Cactus can achieve a height of up to 6 feet and a width of around 2 feet. Our 5-gallon plants measure approximately 10" x 10"—a great size for getting started in your garden!

Cold Tolerance ❄️

This hardy cactus can withstand short durations of cold, tolerating temperatures as low as 10°F. For areas with severe winters, it’s best to offer some protection to prevent frost damage.

Flower Color 🌼

In the summer, the Twisted Barrel Cactus produces stunning yellow or orange, funnel-shaped flowers at its crown. These bright flowers bring a splash of warm color that attracts pollinators and enhances any garden.

Huge

So much bigger that I had to purchase a larger pot. Not complaining. Arrived in great condition. A precaution for those who want to buy this cactus, be very, very careful while potting/planting. If one of those "hooks" attach to you, you're in trouble. Got it securely in its home and am very pleased with the quality of the cactus and the quality of the packing and shipping. This is, I believe, my 10th purchase from The Cactus Outlet. I happy and "full up" on the patio.
