The Cleistocactus strausii commonly known as the Silver Torch Cactus, is a tall, columnar cactus covered in a dense layer of silvery-white spines, giving it a striking, frosty appearance. This cold-hardy, drought-tolerant species thrives in rock gardens, xeriscapes, and large containers. Known for its vibrant red, tubular flowers, which bloom in late summer. These blooms appear on mature plants, often growing in clusters along the sides of the stems rather than at the top, creating a unique floral display.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil.
