You can request
a “Hold Order” for Hardy Perennials and we will ship them
when it’s planting time in your zone. Otherwise, Hardy
Perennials can be kept in a cool or cold spot like an unheated
garage, cool cellar or outbuilding. Cover the pot and soil
with insulating material (burlap, clean rags, newspaper) and
check the soil every 2-3 weeks to make sure it doesn’t dry
out completely. In the spring, plant as soon as the ground
is open and no longer frozen. Dormant plants can endure
freezing temperatures in the spring as long as the plant
remains dormant without any green buds.
White Easter Cactus ‘Sirius’ p.p. (Rhipsalidopsis hybrid)
Detailed Description
White Easter Cactus ‘Sirius’ p.p. (Rhipsalidopsis hybrid)
Exceptional flowering houseplants, Easter cactus have been used for generations to brighten the early spring window. ‘Sirius’, the only all-white cultivar with its distinctive star-shaped flowers, blooms between April and June with the flowering cycle lasting 2-4 weeks. In their native habitat, Rhipsalidopsis grow as epiphytes in the forests of Brazil and other South American countries, often in close proximity to schlumbergeras. They have similar cultural requirements: well-drained soil, moderate watering and filtered light but no harsh direct noonday sun. Keep the plant cool and moist when it's flowering to extend the flowering season.
Hardy to Zone 10 and higher for outdoors.
Partial sun to shade, grows to 8-12" in container, minimum temperature indoors 40°, blooms in spring.
