One of the prettiest forms of a favorite cholla

Opuntia humifusa - North Carolina Blue Flowers One of the prettiest formsThis coastal collection vigorously produces bright green, oval pads typical of the species and somewhat untypical, rather heavy, warm yellow flowers and rounded, bright red fruit often holding through the year. Very easy in the garden from dappled shade to sun in almost any drainage. Frost hardy to at least 20F, USDA zone 5. We have used this in multiple containers as well as in rooftop plantings.
