Opuntia ficus-indica – Edible Prickly Pear Cactus | Striking & Drought-Hardy

Bold Looks. Edible Fruit. Ultra-Low Maintenance.

Add dramatic structure and delicious rewards to your garden with Opuntia ficus-indica, the iconic Prickly Pear Cactus. Known for its flat, paddle-like pads and seasonal bursts of color, this heat-loving succulent also produces sweet, edible fruits (tunas) and tender pads (nopales)—perfect for smoothies, salads, and traditional dishes.

This hardy cactus thrives in poor soils and full sun, making it a favorite for xeriscapes, edible gardens, and water-wise landscapes.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Edible Pads & Fruit: Enjoy homegrown cactus fruit and healthy, nutrient-rich nopales
  • Architectural Appeal: Bold, upright paddles add sculptural form to any garden
  • Drought-Tolerant: Needs little water once established—perfect for dry climates
  • Easy to Grow: Low-maintenance, pest-resistant, and thrives on neglect
  • Pollinator Magnet: Seasonal yellow to orange blooms attract bees and butterflies

Quick Care Tips:

  • Light: Full sun
  • Water: Let soil dry completely between waterings
  • Soil: Fast-draining cactus mix
  • Cold Tolerance: Protect from frost in cooler regions

Perfect For:

  • Edible and sustainable gardens
  • Dry zones, rockeries, and xeriscapes
  • Modern or Mediterranean-style landscapes
