The Opuntia family—commonly known as prickly pear—offers incredible versatility and visual interest for any landscape or container garden. With their rounded pads, vivid blooms in shades of yellow, orange, red, and pink, and a variety of pad shapes and colors, prickly pears create striking contrast when paired with other cacti and succulents.
In the landscape, some species make excellent groundcovers, while others—like the Santa Rita “purple” prickly pear—serve as standout focal points or elegant complements to mixed plantings in pots or garden beds.
Prickly pears are as tough as they are beautiful. They thrive in full sun, tolerate extreme heat, and require minimal water. Many varieties are also cold-hardy, easily enduring chilly overnight temperatures.
Whether you’re designing a drought-tolerant garden, adding interest to a patio planter, or seeking a low-maintenance yet dramatic accent, the prickly pear is a resilient and eye-catching choice.

Our prickly pears are grown outdoors in their native habitat—right here in Southern Arizona. These hardy plants are cultivated with just the right balance of sun, water, and nutrients, so they arrive in their natural, healthy form—never greenhouse-grown, never stressed, and always sun-hardened.
You won’t see thin, stretched pads reaching for light. Instead, you’ll receive robust, vibrant plants that look just as they do in the wild. Their natural resilience means they’re already adapted to a wide range of conditions and require no acclimation.
Whether you're planting in a container for your sunroom, patio, or windowsill—or directly into the ground—our prickly pears are ready to thrive from day one.
