4-inch Opuntia invicta (L45) | Corynopuntia invicta

The Opuntia invicta is a striking and tough prickly pear cactus known for its upright growth habit, bluish-green paddle-shaped segments, and dense clusters of long, sharp spines. This vigorous grower can reach up to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, forming an impressive clump over time. It thrives in full sun, requires very little water, and performs best in well-draining, sandy or rocky soil. In late spring to early summer, it produces large, showy yellow flowers that create a vivid contrast against the cool-toned pads, sometimes followed by spiny fruit. Ideal for xeriscaping, defensive borders, or container growing in sunny spots. Extremely drought-tolerant and heat-hardy, but should be handled with care due to its sharp spines. Best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 8–11.
