Echinocereus

From LoveToKnow Garden

Echinocereus - Plants of the Cactus family (from arid regions in N. America), some of which are hardy. All are beautiful and some quite splendid when in flower. E. Fendleri bears some of the brightest flowers. Other kinds are E. naephiceus, gonacanthus, viridiflorus, and paucispinus. Give them soil which is well drained and a sunny, exposed place away from all protection, taking care so to place them in relation to surrounding objects that their stems cannot easily be hurt. A few protecting stones can be grouped so as to keep off the digger and other dangerous animals. A close turf of some dwarf clean alpine will prevent earth splashings and will improve the effect.
