Overview
The Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis hybrid) is a prized perennial for arid landscapes. Recognized by large, fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers blooming in spring to summer, often nocturnal, these cacti feature globular to cylindrical green stems reaching up to 3 feet in height. They require full sun, minimal water, and thrive in well-draining soil. Hardy in USDA zones 8-11, they create stunning visuals with low maintenance needs, ideal for xeriscaping or rock gardens.
