description_en: Genus of one species of slow-growing, giant, perennial cactus from desert areas in the USA and N.W. Mexico. It some-times attains only 1 m (3ft) in height after 30 years; branching and flowering may not occur until plants reach 3-4m (10-12ft) tall. The large, funnel- to bell-shaped flowers, borne in early summer, open only in the morning. They are followed in autumn by ovoid-oblong, scaly, often spiny fruit containing glossy black seeds. In frost-prone areas, grow in a warm greenhouse; in warm, dry climates, grow in a desert garden.
