Opuntia hybrid ‘Baby Rita’

Baby Rita Prickly Pear

The petite purple prickly pear that everyone loves. Never growing taller than 8 inches, the Baby Rita provides all of the purple beauty of the Santa Rita and the striking salmon pink flowers of the beavertail prickly pear all in a pint-sized form. Flowers appear in spring and are great at attracting pollinators. Very hardy and can thrive in full sun. Great for tight spaces or in containers.

  • Brilliant pink colored flowers
  • Small padded, purple-skinned prickly pear
  • Pads more purple in winter
