Senita Cactus (Lophocereus schottii) Seeds
Add a true Sonoran Desert native to your landscape with Senita Cactus. This slow-growing, sculptural cactus is prized for its tall columnar form, fuzzy gray areoles, and exceptional heat and drought tolerance. Naturally found in the Southwest and northern Mexico, Senita is perfectly suited for desert, xeriscape, and water-wise gardens—especially in Zone 9B.
Senita Cactus thrives in full sun, poor to rocky soils, and extreme summer heat once established. It requires minimal irrigation, making it ideal for low-maintenance landscapes, native plant gardens, and collectors seeking authentic desert species. Over time, mature plants can produce unique night-blooming flowers followed by small edible fruits, adding seasonal interest to its striking architectural presence.
Perfect for:
• Desert and xeriscape landscapes
• Water-wise and low-maintenance gardens
• Native Southwest plant collections
• Container growing when young
• Long-term landscape investment plants
Growing notes:
Start seeds in well-draining soil with warmth and light. Growth is slow but rewarding, producing a resilient, long-lived cactus that becomes a focal point as it matures. Protect young seedlings from frost and excess moisture.
