Golden Barrel of the Andes Cactus Seeds

A large, high-altitude barrel cactus native to the mountains of northern Argentina. It is prized by collectors for its massive, ribbed body and vibrant, deep red blossoms.
Typically grows as a solitary, globular (ball-shaped) stem that becomes cylindrical with age, reaching up to 50 cm (20 in) in diameter and occasionally over 1 meter in height.
Features 15 to 50 (or more) low, distinct ribs with areoles filled with short white wool. Dense, spreading spines that range in color from yellowish and brownish-orange to silver or whitish. Brilliantly red or orange-red flowers bloom in late spring and summer, emerging from the sides of the plant rather than the very top.
Extremely cold-hardy for a cactus; it can tolerate light frost if kept dry.
