In full sun the plant take a tan-red colouring. It flowers from spring to fall, and handle full sun to full shade, also the spines are nearly useless in terms of defense so a pretty 'user-friendly' plant.

Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Gymnocalycium anisitsii group

Gymnocalycium anisitsii is a very polymorphic species with a large range of variability. Two subspecies are recognized, the nominate form and subsp. multiproliferum. There seems to be very little justification for vars. centrispinum, rotundulum, torulosum and tucavocense. Gymnocalycium griseopallidum from the salt-pan desert area on the Bolivia-Paraguay borders may well be another variety or local form which has become adapted to the peculiar local conditions of that region.
