Snow Prickly Pear Cactus is an unusual variety with upright narrow paddles that are covered in long white hair giving it a furry appearance. Relatively tolerant to frost and compact in habit, it has pale yellow flowers that are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. Preferring coarse well drained soil, it requires no water in winter but will benefit from an occasional deep watering during the growing months. After transplant and during times of stress, the paddles may droop temporarily giving the cactus a weeping appearance.
