Question
I live in Illinois..Is there any type of cactus that I can plant and will survive Illinois winters? This is for outdoor planting.
Doug,
Sorry for the delay in answering. Yes there are. Check out this website: http://members.lycos.co.uk/cornishexotics/hardy_cacti_north.html
I know these names are in latin, but you can search for them by name and see some pictures before you buy any. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Greg
