Cardon Grande |
Description
This columnar cactus is used in place of the Saguaro since it grows faster. It has 8-14 ribs, with spines 3" long. White flowers bloom at night and can be 8" wide from late spring through late summer. Irrigate this cactus every 2-3 weeks after it's established, especially during the summer. Cardon Grande can reach 1'-15' tall and 1'-5' wide.

Water Saving Tip:
Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.
Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.
Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
