Plant/Product Description:
Ferocactus latispinus, commonly known as the Devil's Tongue Cactus, is a spiny, barrel-shaped cactus that is famous for its thick, long, and sharp spines that resemble the tongue of a devil. The cactus has a cylindrical, ribbed body that is a blue-green color, with prominent yellow spines that are widely spaced along the ribs. The Devil's Tongue Cactus grows slowly and can reach up to 3 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for large containers, succulent gardens, or cactus collections. In summer, it produces vibrant yellow flowers at the apex of the cactus, adding an extra touch of beauty to its menacing appearance.
