Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis sp)

🌵 Stop! Don't touch! Just smell that magic fragrance... 😭
  • 💠 Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis sp) is native to Brazil and Argentina. It is a globular cactus that produces splendid night-blooming, white fragrant flowers up to 10" long!
  • 💠 Big, white or pink, fragrant blooms.
  • 💠 Flowers open at night or early morning, creating a magical experience.
  • 💠 Blooms last only a day or two, making each one special.
  • 💠 Cool shapes: unique, spiny, ribbed bodies come in different forms and sizes.
  • 💠 Easy Care: low-maintenance, very little water, lots of sunlight, and well-draining soil. Adapted to survive in harsh, dry environments, it can take both drought (obviously - cactus) and rainy seasons (like we have in Florida).
  • 💠 Great for water-saving gardens and container culture.
  • 💠 Many species and hybrids to collect, with a range of colors and forms.
