Mammillaria spinosissima - Red-Headed Irishman Cactus - A Desert Gem

Bring the vibrant charm of the desert to your collection with the Mammillaria spinosissima, affectionately known as the Red-Headed Irishman. Native to Mexico, this striking cactus is a true showstopper, boasting dense, colorful spines and vibrant blooms that will add a pop of color and texture to any space.

Key Features:

  • Spiny Beauty: Covered in a mix of white, yellow, and reddish-brown spines, the Red-Headed Irishman offers a captivating, textured appearance that will grab attention from all angles.

  • Compact & Clustering Growth: This slow-growing cactus naturally forms small, cylindrical stems that grow in clusters, creating a charming mound-like shape over time, perfect for adding interest to your collection.

  • Vibrant Blooms: In the spring and summer, this cactus bursts into a ring of small, funnel-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, or red. These cheerful blooms contrast beautifully with the colorful spines, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
