Preston’s selection from the Texas hill country of a particularly handsome round-padded specimen to 4 to 5ft in height and width. Symmetrically round pads showcasing a halo of short gold spines. Golden flowers with tangerine centers with some abundance in late spring. We’ve found this plant easy to grow in a wide variety of soils. Not fussy about winter wet but particularly cheerful if given occasional summer “thunder shower” in places where they don’t naturally occur. Full sun to part shade and decent drainage. USDA zone 6 possibly 5.
