    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This dwarf, flattened, globe-shaped cactus is an enthusiastic clumper, each 'baby' only adding to the charm of this otherwise very cute plant. In May, a profusion of pink to white flowers appear. To 3-4" high x 6" wide. At home in the rock garden, or filling out a container. Cold hardy enough for outdoor planting when provided with gritty soil and sharp drainage. USDA zone 6.
