A Distinct Sonoran Desert Beauty

 

Add bold desert character to your landscape or container collection with Coville’s Barrel Cactus, a striking subspecies of Ferocactus emoryi native to the Sonoran Desert. Found in Southern Arizona and extending into Baja California, Mexico, this cactus is prized for its dramatic red-and-white spines, vibrant red flowers, and rugged resilience.

 

With its architectural form and low-maintenance nature, Coville’s Barrel Cactus makes a powerful statement in any setting.

 

🌞 Key Features & Growing Habits

 

Geometric Spine Pattern 🎨


Coville’s Barrel Cactus is instantly recognizable for its cage-like spine structure, with bold red and white spines forming a dramatic geometric pattern around the plant—making it a natural focal point in any garden or container.

 

Flowers & Fruit 🌺


In spring, this cactus produces bright red flowers, followed by large yellow fruit, adding seasonal color and additional interest.

 

Cold Hardy & Resilient ❄️


Surprisingly tolerant of cold, this species can withstand short periods down to approximately 20°F, making it suitable for a wider range of climates than many barrel cacti.

 

Easy, Low-Maintenance Care 🌿


Thrives with minimal attention once established. Requires ample sun, excellent drainage, and infrequent watering—perfect for busy gardeners and water-wise landscapes.

 

🏡 Ornamental & Landscape Uses

 

🌵 Landscape Focal Point


Adds bold structure and texture to xeriscapes, rock gardens, and desert landscapes.

 

🪴 Container Gardening


Performs well in containers on patios, balconies, and courtyards. Its slow growth rate allows for years of enjoyment without quickly outgrowing its pot.
