This listing is for various quantities of Opuntia violaceae var. Santa Rita prickly pear cactus cuttings.

Santa Rita prickly pear is one of the most colorful of the Opuntia family. It's moderate sized pads (6" to 8" diameter) are a deep purple color when young, progressing to a blue-green shade with purple margins as they mature. The pads have spines on the margins and glochids (small, fine whisker-like needles) on the face - so this one is to be handled with some caution.

This bold prickly pear adds color and texture to any landscape and may achieve 4' of height and 6' of width. Spring / summer flowers are a beautiful bright lemon yellow color, followed by purplish colored small (2") fruit.

Native to northern Mexico, this specimen loves full sun and is cold hardy into the mid-teens.

The fruit (or pear) of the prickly pear - called a "tuna" - is also edible and is used in jellies and other sweets.
