Claret Cup Cactus Flowers Spring Reminder
The Claret Cup Cactus is the first cactus to bloom here.

Happy Spring!This incredible little cactus has lived in this spot for five years. Each year it heralds the blooming season for our region's hardy cacti.

The Claret Cup takes a well drained average soil in a sun drenched south facing spot that doesn't get much water.

The deep red flowers are long lasting. The entire bloom lasts up to two weeks. We are always impressed and never disappointed. This hardy evergreen perennial is perfect for your rock or container garden.
