4" Peanut Cactus

Peanut Cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus)

Peanut Cactus is a charming, fast-growing cactus with slender, finger-like stems that form dense clusters as the plant matures. Its bright green stems are covered in small, soft-looking spines and spread beautifully over the edges of containers. In spring and summer, mature plants can produce spectacular funnel-shaped flowers in brilliant shades of orange to red.

It’s an easy-care cactus that rewards plenty of sunlight with vigorous growth and colorful blooms.

Fun Fact:
Peanut Cactus gets its name from its small, segmented stems, which resemble peanuts in their shells—and a mature plant can become completely covered in brilliant orange-red flowers. 🌵🧡
