Melocactus azureus is a stunning and rare species native to the limestone-rich regions of Brazil, prized for its powdery blue-grey epidermis and dramatic, contrasting spines. Like all Melocactus, it develops a distinctive cephalium—a woolly, bristly structure at the crown—once it reaches maturity, from which small pink to red flowers emerge. The striking coloration and unique growth pattern make it a centerpiece cactus for collectors of exotic and architectural species.

Key Features:

• 🔵 Powdery Blue-Grey Skin: Unusual glaucous body with deep ribs and contrasting reddish or yellowish spines.

• 🎩 Cephalium Formation: Develops a woolly, cylindrical crown at maturity that produces tiny flowers and fruit.

• 🌸 Bright Bloom Display: Pink to red flowers emerge from the cephalium in succession.
