Orchid Cactus ‘Whirly Bird’ (Epiphyllum hybrid)

A burst of color arises in the spring with flares of pink, white and orange on this outstanding Orchid Cactus ‘Whirly Bird.’ The 8” blooms create a stunning show for the gardener to enjoy. When given partial sun and dry, cool conditions in the winter, it helps the plant set flower buds that will bloom in spring. We often plant this easy-grower in a hanging basket.
