Why it matters

Already sun-hardened

Cactus and succulents grown in shade houses or shipped from milder climates can sunburn when planted in a Coachella Valley yard. Ours grow outdoors in Desert Hot Springs sun and wind, so they’re ready to go in the ground.

  • Grown in full desert sun
  • Small containers to large specimens
  • Matching quantities for commercial jobs
Plant it right

Cactus & succulent tips

  • Drainage first. Plant in fast-draining soil; never let roots sit wet.
  • Water sparingly. Overwatering kills more cactus than heat does.
  • Mind the spines. Keep spiny plants back from walkways and play areas.
  • Give agaves room. Check the mature width before planting.
