Opuntia phaeacantha 'Little Millard' Lavender Flowers A hybrid cross between OA Cistus introduction. One of the best opuntias for fruit, shared with us by keen eyed plantsman Tim Hanis. This low grower, to only about 12 18" but spreading to 4 5' has bluish pads, rusty spines, yellow flowers with a hint of orange, and abundant dark red fruit from mid summer through autumn. Beautiful in the garden, even if you don't make jelly. Full sun, reasonably well drained soil, USDA zone 4. TULIP PRICKLY PEAR Cactaceae
