WORM x ZED - Columnar Cactus Hybrid

CV. - Worm x Zed Scopulicola is an elite hybrid that combines the best of two legendary botanical lineages. Known for its impressive girth and nearly spineless, deep green ribs, this architectural masterpiece adds a clean and sophisticated vertical element to any garden or indoor space. Its vigorous growth and resilient nature make it a perfect "trophy" plant for collectors who want a high-impact, fast-growing specimen that maintains its sculptural beauty for years to come.

• Physical Traits: This hybrid typically exhibits thick, emerald-green skin and very short, almost non-existent spines. It often features notched ribs that give it a "sawtooth" profile.
• Growth: It is a vigorous grower, capable of adding 12 to 18 inches of height per year. It is favored for its ability to maintain incredible thickness (girth) as it matures.
• Resilience: Native to high-altitude Andean lineages, it is cold-hardy down to approximately 25°F and is more tolerant of frequent watering than desert cacti, provided the soil is well-draining.
• Blooms: Mature specimens produce large, showy, night-blooming white flowers that are highly fragrant.
• Breeder: The seeds for this cross were originally produced by Gus Freeman in Australia.
