Opuntias, the prickly pear family of cacti, can be used in many different ways. In the landscape, the prickly pear family can be used as a very nice contrast to other cacti and succulents. The rounded pads, beautiful flowers of yellow, orange, red and pink plus different pad colors and sizes offer distinguished contrast in the landscape or in a nice container. Some prickly pear species can be used as a succulent groundcover. Some prickly pears, like the Santa Rita “purple” prickly pear, are ideal as unique pieces interspersed throughout the landscape or a nice contrast to a group of cacti and succulents in pots. Prickly pears are also very forgiving. They will tolerate the hottest parts of your landscape and like it! The prickly pear family also thrives on very little water and can take very cold overnight temperatures.

Quality and hard to find.

Plants arrived in perfect shape. Appreciated the tie that identified the South side of plant. Would never had thought of that. Planted 2 weeks ago in pots for the winter. Will transplant outdoors in the spring. Looking great and strong.

My Furry friends 😁👏👏👏

I recently received my first Snow White one year ago as a present from my son in Tucson.
All day sunlight gave it a surge of growth!!!
From 7” inches to over 3 FEET in one year.
I bought 2 more a month ago and already see the expansion 👏👍🏻👍🏻

I will send photos if you would like.
They are very unbelievably adaptable
