Opuntia
macrocentra cv. Pinta Rita is a very cold hardy special cultivar. It
has intensified purple tinting of the turquoise
under-color of the plant’s pads; much longer season flowering (from
Spring through Fall); and new growth is bright red! Hardy to mid teens.
It will grow to be about 3 feet (1 meter) tall and spread up to 6 feet
(2 meters) wide. You are bidding on one whole plant with roots, but shipped bare root. Beware of the barbed spines and glochids. Use paper not gloves
when handling. Sections fall off almost to the touch; just plant them.
