Mammillaria spinosissima also known as the "Red-headed Irishman" is one of the most beautiful Mammillarias. Growing globular at first, Mammillaria spinossissima grows to 8" in height.

Vivid majenta flowers encircle the columns of bright orange in late winter and spring, providing a startling contrast. Native to Guerrero, Mexico. Requires porous cactus soil with adequate drainage. Bright light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.
