Opuntia Purple Santa Rita Prickly Pear, Cactus, Live plant

Description

You will receive one plant similar to photo #5 and #6 and video. The plant is sitting in 4” pot to 1 gallon pot, and will be shipped bare-root. 

 


Add a splash of vibrant color to your garden or home with the Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus! This low-growing cactus forms large clumps and features flat, round pads that shift from a striking reddish-purple in cold or drought conditions to a soft bluish-gray in summer. In late spring, enjoy a display of orange-red flowers, followed by oblong, purple, plump fruit.

:

  • : Reddish-purple pads intensify in winter or drought; bluish-gray in summer.

  • : Orange-red flowers bloom in late spring, followed by decorative purple fruit.

  • : Perfect as a colorful accent in containers or as a silhouette against white or light-colored walls.

  • : Drought-resistant, hardy to 15°F or lower, and easy to propagate by replanting pads.

  • : Originates from Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Sonora, Mexico (2,000–4,000 ft elevation).

Care Requirements:

  • Light: Full sun for best color and growth.
  • Water: Very drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining sandy or gritty soil.
  • Temperature: Extremely cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as -10°F (-23°C); USDA zones 5–10.
  • Growth Habit: Low-growing and clumping, typically reaching 8–12 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide.

Special Features:

  • Vibrant purple/pink pads with seasonal color variation
  • Cold-hardy and drought-tolerant
  • Low maintenance and ideal for rock gardens, desert landscapes, or container growing
