Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus, 2 or 4 Rooted Plants, Baby Rita Variety - FREE US Shipping
A dwarf hybrid of the Santa Rita and Beavertail prickly pear, the Baby Rita is a colorful, compact and very cold hardy cactus. These virtually care-free plants have bluish-green pads that turn yellowish-green with age. The pads display a degree of purple year long and become nearly entirely purple during the winter.
Plants representative of all that are available are shown in the listing photographs planted in their 4 inch pots. Each cactus will have two pads, stand 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 inches above the soil and will be well rooted. Your choice of two or four of these plants will be included with each order. These will ship with a minimal amount of soil, however pots will not be included.
Baby Rita seldom reaches a height of over one foot and may form a clump measuring up to two feet across. They can withstand temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit, must be planted in well draining soil and provided full sun. After being established, they only require supplemental water during periods of long drought.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not use heat packs and we are not responsible for damage related to the plants being exposed to cold temperatures.
Shipping to any location within the contiguous United States, with the exception of those within California, is included in the listing prices. We cannot ship these plants to destinations within the state of California or to those outside of the contiguous USA.
