Trichocereus Hybrid 'Malibu' — Rare Multi-Color Blooming Cactus Plant

If you're looking for a cactus that truly commands attention, 'Malibu' is it. This rare Trichocereus hybrid — hybridized by Rolf Autenrieth — produces breathtaking 5–6"+ blooms in a stunning palette of golden-orange, burnt orange, cerise-rose, and deep red. Cream-colored anthers and a red pistil with a cream stigma complete the picture. It's a living work of art.

This healthy, well-rooted plant is approximately 3 inches tall and will grow into a sturdy, dark-to-light green columnar stem reaching 3+ feet tall and 4.5–6"+ in diameter. Once it hits 12 inches in height, expect consecutive blooms throughout the warm season.
