Strawberry Hedgehog native Cover young or recently plantedPhoenix's Most Spectacular Blooming Hedgehog Cactus Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus stramineus) puts on the biggest, most jaw dropping flower show of any hedgehog cactus in the Phoenix Valley. Each spring, this clumping desert native explodes with dozens of massive magenta pink blooms some nearly 5 inches across that completely cover the plant for weeks. The sweet, edible red fruits that follow taste like strawberries (hence the name).
