Opuntia polyacantha ‘Browse Pink’

Also from Tim Hanis, from the diverse prickly pear population near St. George, Utah, this vigorous plant becomes a 2-3 ft clump fairly quickly, producing a pleasing, mid-pink flower amid the, indeed, red and white, bi-colored spines — a very nice effect, the plant standing out from quite a distance in Tim’s garden. Needs decently drained soil and full sun. USDA zone 4, if not colder.
