Description
" Hedgehog Cactus in Bloom," By: Beverly Guilliams..............................
My first Hedgehog Cactus in Bloom this year, Spring has Sprung.......
Hedgehogs are small cactus with beautiful large purplish flowers. They are the first cactus to bloom during the year.
Like the hedgehog itself, the hedgehog cactus (Echinocereus engelmannii) is covered in spiky "quills." In addition to its spines, a clump of the prickly plant gives the impression of an over-sized hedgehog. Hedgehog cacti require full sun to thrive and may be grown in Sunset Climate Zones 2, 3, 7 1nd 10 through 24. As with most cacti species, it is essential to handle the hedgehog cactus with care to avoid getting pricked by its many spines. The hedgehog cactus is one of the cactus varieties that features bright-colored flowers.
