Pilosocereus gounellei SH140

The Pilosocereus gounellei is a striking columnar cactus with blue-green stems and pronounced vertical ribs adorned with golden spines, giving it a bold and architectural presence. It can grow to 15–25 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, making it an impressive focal point in any landscape or large container. This sun-loving cactus thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring low water once established. It produces nocturnal, tubular white flowers that bloom in summer, often attracting pollinators such as bats and moths. Highly drought-tolerant, the Pilosocereus gounellei is ideal for xeriscaping, desert gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes, offering both visual impact and resilience. Its upright, columnar growth and unique coloring make it a standout choice for collectors and landscape enthusiasts alike. USDA Hardiness Zones 9–11.
