Incurved Cactus · 8–10"LavenderPhil MingusUnited States

Long twisted petals curl inward in soft lavender with cream washing across the tips, giving each bloom a velvety glow as it opens. The flowers keep getting bigger through the season, sometimes palm-sized, sometimes the size of a dinner plate. Collectors of the Mingus line grow this one for the sheer drama it brings to a late-summer row. It comes from Phil Mingus in United States.

Growing Mingus Gregory

Stake at planting because the heavy heads will pull stems sideways once the bigger flowers open. Pinch above the third leaf pair to build side branches, then disbud aggressively if you want the largest show-quality flowers. Feed steadily through midseason and keep water even so the color stays clean rather than muddy.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
