Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus

This small, clumping cactus is known for its vibrant magenta flowers and sweet, edible fruit—hence the name. Its short stems are covered in dense spines and often grow in tight clusters. Blooming in spring, it's a favorite among pollinators and desert gardeners alike. Native to the Southwest, the strawberry hedgehog adds a bright pop of color to rocky desert landscapes.
