Echinocactus grusonii, commonly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus or Mother-in-Law's Cushion, is a striking and iconic succulent native to Mexico. Its spherical shape and golden-yellow spines make it a standout feature in arid landscapes and succulent gardens. Slow-growing and drought-tolerant, it thrives in well-draining soil and full sun, making it ideal for xeriscaping. The Golden Barrel Cactus is low-maintenance and requires minimal watering once established, making it perfect for beginners and busy gardeners. Its vibrant coloration and distinctive form add both visual interest and architectural appeal to desert-themed gardens and rockeries.
