Sulcorebutia rauschii is a seriously cool cactus forming a wonderful cluster of colourful blobs and bright blue flowers in early summer! A highly sought after and unusual cacti variety and slow growing too. The tight cluster of heads is colourful in itself with striking purple and green. The texture is almost like a closed miniature fur cone and for a cacti it’s not so spiney – instead it has tiny ridges of black spines arranged in a sort of tight fishbone shape. Flowers are continual during the warmest periods and are brightly coloured cerise pink with yellow-orange centres. They appear from amongst the heads and contrast fabulously against the purple/green flesh.
