Baby Rita Prickly Pear (Opuntia 'Baby Rita'): A Dwarf, Purple-Padded Cactus

Opuntia 'Baby Rita' is a charming, dwarf cultivar of the purple prickly pear. It forms a low, compact clump of small, rounded pads that are a stunning purple-blue color, intensifying in cold or sun. The pads have few spines but abundant glochids. It rarely flowers in cultivation but is grown for its exceptional foliage color. Perfect for small spaces, containers, and fairy gardens.
