Cactus Plants beginning with Opuntia.
Plants will vary in price and container size Some will only be available during dormancy – late Fall or early Spring — and will be updated this winter. Seed and plant exchanges are always welcome! You might also enjoy these two articles; Overwintering Cactus and hardy cactus (window sill plants) for Sequim.
Due to PayPal’s inability to handle and charge appropriate fees for multiple combinations I decided to re-edit all my listings to a ‘plant cost only’. At the bottom of each listing page will be three shipping alternatives. One of these must be chosen before I ship.

Cactus (Hardy in Sequim WA.)
Opuntia cycloides (ssp. of engelmannii)
It is hardy in Zone 7 Sequim, WA. But relishes our dry winters. Sequim, only gets some 15 inches of rainfall a year and happens to be in a mild climate zone. Rarely do we drop down to 10. F. Adding 6 inches of coarse gravel to the potting area would be a good thing to do. Plant under an overhang, facing south. Great protective landscape plant to put under opening windows. These are one gallon plants and they are HUGE! The ONLY shipping option would be the large flat rate box with a pruned back parent plant and three calloused pads.($3.00 ea.) and $16.95 shipping. [wpepsc name=”Opuntia cycloides” price=”9.00″] Opuntia fragilis – Brittle Prickly Pear To those familiar with the large, shrub-like prickly pears of Arizona, Opuntia fragilis would hardly be recognized as a close relative of those impressive plants.It is, however, it has much smaller pads than most Opuntia, usually just 1-2″ long or occasionally a little longer. The pads have spines that may be rather soft and white to more rigid and somewhat golden or brownish in color. The spine color also varies according to the time of year. In June, yellow flowers are produced, but some forms of this species are rather shy to flower. Two inch pots $5.95 ea. [wpepsc name=”Opuntia fragilis” price=”5.95″]
