Echinocereus reichenbachii, the Lace Cactus, is a small, cylindrical cactus with numerous ribs covered in a dense lattice of fine, white radial spines that create a "lace" effect over the green stem. It has few central spines. In spring, it produces stunning, large, fragrant, magenta-pink flowers with green stigmas. This widespread US native is cold-hardy and a jewel in rock gardens and troughs.
