Mammillaria senilis - 6 inch

Mammillaria senilis, a visually striking cactus native to Mexico, charms with dense white spines and vibrant orange-red flowers. Its compact size, drought tolerance, and ease of care make it popular among cactus enthusiasts. Growing up to 4-6 inches in height, it features hooked spines, cylindrical stems, and a woolly appearance. Blooming in spring, it produces visually appealing fruits and is well-suited for rock gardens, containers, and indoor cultivation. Recognized with the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, it thrives in USDA zones 10-11 and is resistant to deer and rabbits. With minimal maintenance and aesthetic appeal, Mammillaria senilis is an excellent choice for adding textural contrast to succulent collections, making it ideal for small spaces and xeriscaping.
