Pediocactus simpsonii Fremont co., CO 7700ft

Pediocactus simpsonii or Mountain Ball Cactus is a species from the high mountains of Colorado. They generally do not like temperatures above 100F and plants need to cool off every night. These plants can be Giants with care. Stems can get 10" across and mound. Our plants have taken -22F without damage in our garden.  These will more than likely be good to a zone 4-7 temps. Good drainage is required on these. Plants for sale are in 3 inch pots. This plant really is for more experienced growers.
 
These plants have been around our nursery for several years and have nice dark spines. We do a good amount of neglect so they are grown HARD. This is one of the harder species for us to grow from seed.
 
We share our experiences to help with your own trials of cold hardiness. We do not guarantee these plants in any garden or zone. Every garden is different and everyones growing conditions are different. Please try plants at your own risk, I do not want to be misleading to anyone.
