Karl Johansparken is home to an internationally important cactus bed that was created in the 1920s. Every year the city of Norrköping honours an institution, company, coat of arms, company logo, monogram or figure with a cushion bed of cacti and other succulents.

The cactus border will celebrate its centenary, or rather its hundredth planting, in 2025. This is quite remarkable, as it has to be replanted every year.
