Beavertail Cactus 'Party Favor'

Opuntia utahensis hyb

Live Cuttings (5"-10" pads) & Small Plants (3" pots) - Cold Hardy -20F!



Beavertail Cactus 'Party Favor' (Opuntia utahensis hyb) is a rare hybrid prickly pear cactus growing in the high desert region of central Oregon. It is a unique hybrid that we think is a cross of two sub types of O. utahensis, it is has a symmetrical, upright and wide growing habit, and has extra large pads, eventually reaching the size of dinner ping pong paddles! Flowers are mostly pink but can change slight coloration overtime giving a wave of color. This is the largest variety of opuntia utahensis we've seen and has been growing completely unprotected for decades in the cold high desert region of central Oregon, zone 6b, repeatedly seeing temps below zero degrees F! These have been planted as far north as Canada surviving temps below -20 degrees F!!
