Echinopsis spachiana is a multi-stemmed, columnar cactus known for its striking upright growth and golden-yellow spines. Native to South America, it forms dense clumps of cylindrical, dark green stems that can reach significant heights. This slow-growing species is highly prized for its large, fragrant white flowers that bloom nocturnally in late spring. It thrives in well-drained soil and requires full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for xeriscapes or as a bold container plant.
