Columnar cactus for the desert night
Peruvian Apple & San Pedro Cactus
Towering, moonlit, and built for the dark. Meet the night-blooming columnar cacti we specialize in.
Two cacti. One obsession.
We focus on the two columnar giants that look best after sunset.
Peruvian Apple Cactus
Cereus repandus. A fast, tall, sculptural cactus with huge white night flowers and edible fruit.
San Pedro Cactus
Echinopsis pachanoi. A slender blue-green Andean columnar cactus with big fragrant white blooms.
Why a night garden needs them
Flowers after dark
Both cacti open giant white blooms at night, for a single magical evening.
Tall and architectural
Fast-growing columns give patios, courtyards and desert gardens instant structure.
Tough and low-water
Built for dry, sunny places. Water deeply, let them dry, and they thrive.
What is a Peruvian Apple cactus? A Peruvian Apple cactus (Cereus repandus) is a fast-growing columnar cactus from South America. It grows tall, blooms at night with large white flowers, and can produce edible red fruit. It does best in full sun and fast-draining soil.
What is a San Pedro cactus? A San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi, also sold as Trichocereus pachanoi) is a slender, blue-green columnar cactus native to the Andes. It is grown as an ornamental for its architectural shape and large, fragrant night flowers.
