Thelocactus hexaedrophorus stems are globe shaped and can measure up to 8 inches at maturity. The tubercles are generally hexagonal or pentagonal in shape. The flowers are white, sometimes pale pink, with yellow centers, reaching 4 inches in diameter. Thelocactus hexaedrophorus are hardy to zones 9b-11.
