Cleistocactus samaipatanus

Very special cactus, made up of a columnar stem, which in nature exceeds one meter in height, maintaining a maximum diameter of 3 or 4 cm and tending to grow merged with other stems or to branch early at the base. The body of a vivid light green is deeply furrowed by multiple closely spaced ribs, completely covered with thin and very straight spines of a lively yellow-gold. From spring to all summer, this particular plant will delight you with majestic flowers, which even exceed 5 cm in length, with a funnel shape and vibrant colors on the notes of red, fuchsia and pink: a real touch of joy, which contrasts nicely with the equally bright colors of the cactus, for a combination that causes a remarkable chromatic explosion, impossible to ignore!
