Description

Opuntia humifusa (Eastern Prickly Pear)The Prickly Pear is a low growing cactus, that typically grows in dry areas around here like Lake Michigan dunes or hill prairies. They are beautiful, particularly in areas like rock gardens. It is great to say "hey I have native cactus that lives here over the winter, want to see?" and you see people with a confused look :) They are native believe it or not and survive and thrive quite well. They do however have very fine, almost fiber optic fine,

The flowers are quite attractive with the white to sometimes creamy green white color are really an unexpected surprise

It is a little slow to establish but is well worth the wait

Plus it is a favorite nectar source for the endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis)

It is also one of the most tolerant of drought and full sun of its kind

In the fall this plant can display beautiful red to purple colors as it goes dormant
