Soft to the eyes but tough as nails, the Cashmere Cactus is the botanical equivalent of a velvet-clad cowboy - rugged, charming and surprisingly low maintenance.  With it's fuzzy, silvery spines that look more like cozy sweater threads than cactus armor, this quirky charmer adds texture and personality to any desert-chic setup.  It's drought tolerant, drama-free, and doesn't mind being admired from a distance (or close up, if you're brave).  Perfect for large pots, rock gardens, or that sunny spot begging for a conversation starter.
