Fouquieria purpusii
This
plant is native to Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. This is the actual plant you will
receive. It is shown in a 3.5” pot. This plant grows a fat swollen caudex base,
the trunk is mostly green with light brown markings. The markings on the stem are old leaf scars
giving it a very nice and unique pattern. This plant grows upright stems and
can reach a height of 12ft at full maturity. Most Fouquieria can go through
several leaf cycles throughout the year. This plant grows best in full sun. The
plant needs moderate watering when growing and keep it dry when it’s dormant. The flower color is white. WINTER NOTE: As we enter into the colder months of winter, plants may begin to drop leaves and go dormant. Plants may look different from when
the photos were taken.

We only use our own photos that we have personally shot, we do not use photos taken from the internet. Flower photos and mature specimen reference photos are from our own plants in our nursery, or in some cases from other sources (Habitat, Botanical Gardens, etc.) but they are always photos that we have personally taken.
We take great pride in providing the highest quality photos we can. We use professional photo studio lights and a DSLR camera to display the plants as accurately as possible with the correct colors and textures.
