Ferocactus wisilizeni 'Red Flowers'

Ferocactus wisilizeni or Arizona Barrel Cactus is a large cactus from southern AZ and southwest NM. This was seed from a few garden plants that had Red flowers. The plants could still have orange flowers but so far the seedlings have stayed with the mother plants characteristics. These are 2 year old plants from seed. Ferocactus wisilizeni has shown some cold hardiness when kept dry in winter taking down to -5F. I strongly suggest covering the plants with a small breathable cover and ive seen them survive -17F. 
 
I will have some more cold hardy stock in late 2021 or early 2022. But really I have seen very little differrence from different locations.
 
I do not guarantee these in a zone 5/6/7 because everyones growing conditions are different but this would be a good trial plant to grow in your cold outdoor garden. Try to plant outdoor 90 days before 1st hard freeze.
