Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fast-growing, round little cactus, quickly offsetting to form large, handsome clumps that produce beautiful, trumpet-shaped, fragrant flowers on long, tubular stems: flowers that open at night and last only one day. Blooms from late spring through summer in colors from white tinted pink to lavender-pink. Thrives in sun to half-shade in porous and lean, well-drained soil with judicious summer water. Frost hardy to 15 °F, mid USDA zone 8 if kept dry in winter. Otherwise a successful indoor plant in good light. Cactaceae
Sollitary, occasional clusters, to 12" tall; frost tender.
