Product description

Blue Candle Cactus (Myrtillocactus geometrizans) A striking cactus with blue-green skin and upright columns that branch as it matures, creating a dramatic, tree-like shape. Known for its beautiful color and edible purple berries, this cactus makes a stunning addition to any desert landscape or collection. Growth Habit: Upright, branching Bloom Season: Spring Dormancy: Winter Sun Exposure: Full sun Soil Needs: Fast-draining cactus mix Hardiness Zones: 9–11 Native To: Central Mexico In the wild, Blue Candle Cactus can grow into large shrubs or small trees up to 15 feet tall. Its powdery blue skin and branching arms give it a sculptural, architectural look that pairs beautifully with golden barrels and other desert classics. In spring, small greenish-white flowers appear, followed by dark purple fruits sometimes called “garambullos,” which are edible and used in jams and drinks in Mexico. What you’ll receive: You will receive a healthy, rooted Blue Candle Cactus ranging in size from 2" potted starts up to 15" tall. All plants are carefully dug, prepared, and shipped bare-root or in pot size as selected. Please note: This listing is for an unrooted cutting, a fresh segment taken from a mature plant. Cuttings need a few weeks to callous before planting, then they root readily in dry cactus soil. Some cuttings may have minor scars, which are totally normal and not a sign of damage. Every cutting is hand-picked and guaranteed to arrive healthy.
