Product Description
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.
