Beaver-rita Hybrid Prickly Pear – A Unique Desert Beauty 🌵
New addition to the Cactus Outlet!
The Beaver-rita prickly pear hybrid is a stunning cross between two well known prickly pear varieties, offering a combination of colors and shapes that make it a standout in any landscape or container garden. This hybrid is more upright in growth habit with the purple Santa-rita prickly pear being more dominant in its growth habit. Our very popular Santa-rita x Beavertail hybrid is more beavertail dominant with a more low growing profile. Get one of each!

The pads have the rounded flat pads shape of the Santa-rita prickly pear. Pad color will vary based on temperature, sun exposure and available moisture.
Pink Flowers 🌺: The Beaver-rita Hybrid produces beautiful pink flowers in spring, adding a lovely pop of color to the landscape. These bright blooms contrast beautifully with the purple pads.
