Full and Afternoon Sun Xeric Resists Deer Resists Rabbits Western Only  Legend

Description:

4” x 4-6” wide, (seed propagated). Dense gray and white spines obscure the clustered stems and help highlight the large magenta flowers. Escobaria is an adaptable, easy-to-grow species, making it a fine choice for rock gardens and xeriscapes. Native to western grasslands, it is found growing with other wildflowers like Zinnia grandiflora, Calylophus serrulatus and Hymenoxys scaposa. I have been growing this little treasure in my gardens for the last 20 years; be sure to include it in your garden too. Zones 4-9.

Special Notes:

Found growing with other wildflowers like Zinnia grandiflora, Calylophus serrulatus and Hymenoxys scaposa.
