About this Item
Parodia magnifica ‘Variegata’ is a rare, highly coveted cultivar of the Blue-Green Ball Cactus, characterized by striking yellow, cream, or white variegated patches on its blue-green, ribbed body. It features a spherical to cylindrical, clustering growth habit, adorned with dense, golden-yellow, hair-like spines. This succulent produces large, bright yellow flowers at its crown in summer.
