4-inch Echinopsis chamaecereus | Peanut Cactus SH158

The Peanut Cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus) is a low-growing, clumping cactus known for its finger-like stems that resemble peanuts and its brilliant orange-red blooms that appear in abundance during the warmer months. Each stem grows up to 6 inches long and about 1 inch thick, forming a dense, trailing mat that looks stunning in hanging baskets or shallow pots. This cactus thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-draining soil with low water needs, making it ideal for drought-tolerant gardens or indoor windowsills. During late spring to early summer, it produces vivid, funnel-shaped flowers that can cover the entire plant, creating a fiery burst of color. The Peanut Cactus is an easy-care succulent perfect for beginners, with a charming growth habit that adds texture and brightness to any collection. It prefers warm, dry conditions and should be protected from frost. USDA Hardiness Zones 10–11.
