(aka: Parodia schlosseri, Parodia erubescens) Notocactus schlosseri hails from Southern Uruguay, which has been the source of quite a few cactus that have thrived in our trials. Notocactus schlosseri has survived in our open rock garden since 2011, which includes wet winters and a low temperature of 7 degrees F. The solitary 6" tall x 6" wide rosette is armed with brown spines, and topped, starting for us in mid-May with large lemon yellow flowers with contrasting burgundy stigmas...a sharp looking cactus! As with all hardy cactus, good winter drainage is essential. Notocactus schlosseri commemorates its discoverer, German cactus explorer Hugo Schlosser.
