Also known as Opuntia rufida, the Cinnamon Prickly Pear is a vibrant prickly pear cactus that adds both color and texture to any landscape. With its similar growth habit to the Angel Wings or Bunny Ear Prickly Pears, this variety stands out with its unique cinnamon-colored spines and occasional purple hues.
Key Features:
Vibrant Colors 🌈: The Cinnamon Prickly Pear features vibrant green pads speckled with cinnamon-colored glochids (small spines) that give it its signature look. Depending on the sun exposure and cooler weather, the pads can develop a stunning purple hue, adding extra character to this already beautiful prickly pear cactus.
Flowers 🌼: This prickly pear cactus produces yellow flowers that add a burst of color during the blooming season, perfectly complementing its unique foliage.
Cold Hardy ❄️: The Cinnamon Prickly Pear is quite cold-tolerant, able to withstand temperatures down to 15°F. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners in colder climates who want to add a touch of the desert to their landscape.
