Product Details
Highlights
Opuntia monacantha variegata 'Variegated Joseph's Coat': Prickly pear cactus with interesting green and creamy white variegation, sometimes flushed with pink. The pad-like stems of this cactus create offshoots that can develop into a large shrub if given room to grow. Use caution when handling sharp spines. Drought tolerant, but needs full sun and excellent drainage. Due to variegation, it will only tolerate short, light frosts.
CAUTION: Opuntia species have fine, barbed bristles called glochids. Glochids easily detach and can become loose in the box during shipping. They will pierce skin and leather gloves, so use tongs when handling and see our Opuntia Care Guide for more tips.
