Waterwise Botanicals


Description

"Opuntia rhodantha 'Snowball': White is an incredibly rare bloom color in the prickly pear or "paddle" family of cactus. And yet, this beautiful low grower forms mounds up to 2.0' wide of golden spines, adorned with the most beautiful and delicate white flowers you've ever seen! Flowers in spring. This mountain variety is completely winter hardy to sub-zero temperatures, but seems to be at home in most climates from highlands to lowlands. It appreciates some summer watering 2 or 3 times a month during the hottest months." - Mountain Crest Gardens
