Notes
'First Light' Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis 'First Light') is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers, and it is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Aeonium, Lady fingers, and Echeveria.
