Beavertail Cactus 'Kanab Blue' (Opuntia aurea) is an EXCLUSIVE hybrid prickly pear cactus growing in the high desert region of central Oregon. It is a unique spineless hybrid that we think is a cross of two sub types of O. aurea, it is has a lower but wide growing habit, and has large spineless blue-green pads that bloom large bright yellow flowers! This is one the larger variety of beavertail cactus we sell and has been growing completely unprotected for decades in the cold high desert region of central Oregon, zone 6b, repeatedly seeing temps below zero degrees F! These have been planted as far north as Canada surviving temps below -25 degrees F!! Planting instructions are included!
