Cinnamon Prickly Pear

Image 1 Image 2 Image 3

Opuntia rufida is sometimes called the cinnamon prickly pear. The Cinnamon prickly pear has a very similar growth habit to the angel wings or bunny ear prickly pears. The pads are a vibrant green speckled with cinnamon colored small spines called glochids. The Cinnamon prickly pear can also have some purple on the pads depending on temperature and sun exposure. The purple hue on the Cinnamon prickly pear comes out in cooler weather and when planting them in a full sun exposure. The flowers on this prickly pear are yellow.

The Cinnamon prickly pear can grow to three feet tall and spread out to about eight feet in diameter when planted in the ground. The Cinnamon prickly pear is a very fast grower and cold hardy to fifteen degrees.

The Cinnamon prickly pear makes a nice contrast when planted in your landscape as an accent plant. It also makes a very attractive, low maintenance and tough potted plant as well. Our one gallon plants are averaging 6"x6".

Our shipping process guarantees your Cinnamon Prickly pear cactus will come to you in pristine condition and wrapped in a way that makes planting easy!

Prickly Pear design and application suggestions:

Opuntias, the prickly pear family of cacti, can be used in many different ways. In the landscape, the prickly pear family can be used as a very nice contrast to other cacti and succulents. The rounded pads, beautiful flowers of yellow, orange, red and pink plus different pad colors and sizes offer distinguished contrast in the landscape or in a nice container. Some prickly pear species can be used as a succulent groundcover. Some prickly pears, like the Santa Rita “purple” prickly pear, are ideal as unique pieces interspersed throughout the landscape or a nice contrast to a group of cacti and succulents in pots. Prickly pears are also very forgiving. They will tolerate the hottest parts of your landscape and like it! The prickly pear family also thrives on very little water and can take very cold overnight temperatures.

Why purchase our Prickly Pear?

Our prickly pears are grown in their native habitat right here in Southern Arizona. Raised outdoors with just the right amount of water and fertilizer, they come to you in their natural form. These plants do not come to you from a greenhouse. They are already hardy to whatever growing conditions you have to offer. You will not see any evidence of pads getting skinny and reaching for light. The prickly pears present the same appearance as you will find them in their native habitats.

If you want to plant them in a container for a sunroom, patio or window planter, great! If you want to take your new prickly pear cacti and plant them in the ground, also great! No acclimation needed. Our plants are ready to go!
