It is prized for its floral display, producing a vivid "halo" or ring of carmine-pink flowers near the plant's apex. The woolly axils often develop a snowy texture, contrasting beautifully with the bright blooms.
Origin & Type This is a botanical subspecies native to the Oaxaca region of Mexico. Our specimens are 100% seed-grown and nursery-raised, ensuring a healthy, sustainable plant without harming wild populations.
