Love snow white! Only thing was that it said it came in a one gallon pot, but came as a bare root.

Great Experience with Cactus Outlet?

I wanted to plant some cactus at my home in Maryland. I had three criteria. The cactus had to be able to withstand our Winters; it had to grow about 3 ft in height; and it had to produce prickly pears. I email these criteria to cactus outlet and within 24 hours received a response from Mike. Mike offered his recommendations and suggested that I keep the cacti in pots over the winter to see which would survive. I took Mike's recommendations and purchased the Snow White prickly pear, the Santa Rita and Beaver Rita prickly pears. They came in a well-insulated box wrapped in plastic film whit planting instructions. So far they are doing very well. The Snow White prickly pear provides a stark and welcome contrast to the other plants in my garden. I look forward to doing business with the cactus outlet again soon.
