Order our limited edition Cold Hardy Native Cacti Collection to experiment with these desert gems in your yard! Cold-hardy cacti not only bring a fascinating botanical element to your xeric garden —they also provide important nectar sources for pollinating insects early in the spring before other plants bloom. Take the time to observe your cacti in flower and you will see the flowers alive with native bees and tiny pollinating wasps in all shapes, colors, and sizes.
The seeds for these cacti selections were gathered by Jeff Thompson, a friend of David Salman. They were cultivated by Tim Hanis, a renowned seed collector specializing in unique and rare cacti, succulents, and perennials. Tim began growing western native plants in the mid-1990s and started collecting seeds for High Country Gardens in the early 2000s. Tim has spent years sustainably propagating and growing the cacti in this collection.
Although we think of cacti as being strictly low-desert plants, many species are found in very cold, harsh environments. The greatest concentration of cold-hardy cacti species is found in Mexico northward into Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas. As more and more gardeners experiment with the various cold-hardy species, we can look to plant them more widely and expand their usefulness as garden plants into a much larger portion of the United States.
