A wonderful little cactus from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to only 4″ tall x 30″ wide, with green pads and very short spines. Summer flowers are lemon yellow, single and simple. Best in lean soil, good drainage, and bright light, though these are more shade tolerant than most Opuntias. Needs little to no summer water. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA Zone 4.
