This iconic cactus forms a rounded, ribbed globe covered in dense clusters of golden-yellow spines that provide both protection and visual interest. It grows slowly but steadily, reaching up to 3 feet in diameter over many years. In summer, it can produce small, yellow flowers near the crown, adding seasonal charm. Golden Barrel Cactus thrives in full sun with well-drained, sandy soils and is highly drought tolerant. Its bold shape and radiant color make it a standout feature in rock gardens, desert landscapes, and container displays.
