Ferocactus Gracilis

Ferocactus gracilis – Red Mexican Fire Barrel Cactus 🔥🌵

The Ferocactus gracilis, commonly known as one of the Red Mexican Fire Barrel Cacti, is a beautiful barrel cactus species that stands out with its vibrant red spines and large red flowers. It is an ideal choice for those looking to add dramatic color and texture to their garden or landscape.

Key Features:

Distinctive Appearance 🌟: This fire barrel cactus is easily recognizable by its dense reddish-orange spines that are slightly wider and more dense compared to other varieties of Mexican Fire Barrel Cacti. Its round, barrel-shaped body is ribbed, with a greenish-blue or grayish-green hue, adding visual interest to desert gardens.

Cold Hardy ❄️: Ferocactus gracilis is a hardy cactus, capable of surviving temperatures as low as 15°F once mature. This makes it suitable for a wide range of climates, particularly in areas that experience chilly winters. However, protection from frost is recommended for young or acclimating plants to prevent damage.

Vibrant Red Flowers 🌺: During late spring or early summer, the cactus blooms with large, red flowers at the top of the stem, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. After flowering, the plant may produce edible fruit, often enjoyed by local wildlife and even humans.

Mature Size 📏: At maturity, Ferocactus gracilis can grow up to 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide( slowly). It typically grows as a solitary plant, rather than clustering, making it a standout addition to any garden. Our 5gal plants come to you at approximately 8"x8" in size.

Ornamental Uses:

Xeriscaping & Low Maintenance 🌱: The Red Mexican Fire Barrel Cactus thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, making it perfect for xeriscaping and low-maintenance landscaping projects. Once established, it requires minimal watering and care.

Container & Garden Focal Point 🪴: Its large size, striking color, and bold structure make it an excellent focal point in both container gardens and in-ground landscapes. Its unique appearance pairs well with other cacti and succulents.

Unique Cactus

Arrived in perfect condition. Larger than I thought; barely fit into the pot I purchased for it. The spines are redder than the ad photo, and they are shaped like fish hooks. Has 4 bulbous "buds" on top. Will be interesting what they develop into.

Bought because it's easy to take care of

I barely water mine and they survive. A great plant for someone who may be a little forgetful like myself.

Plant your's in bunches/groups

Get a few and plant them in bunches. They look the best when it's done this way in my opinion.
