Order our limited-edition Texas Native Cacti Collection to experiment with these desert gems in your yard! Texas is home to a treasure-trove of fascinating cacti, and the cold hardiness of many species from West Texas and the Southwest exceeds what one might expect. This resilience likely stems from their genetic adaptation from many thousands of years ago when the region was much colder.
Not only do cold-hardy cacti bring a fascinating botanical element to your xeric garden, but they offer tremendously 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, Steven Brack, and Horst Kunzler, friends 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.
