Opuntia fragilis - Michigan tiny form Summer Dry admires shade and even moistureThis form, from a population in its far northeastern range, indeed Michigan, was found in wind exposed outcrops or in mats in the mosses and lichens. Each pad is under 1 2" in length and width, often under 1 4", with a slightly blue cap and not many spines. This little prickly pear is best in bright light and quite water tolerant. Has been frost hardy into USDA zone 3. Good container plant for your arctic condo. BRITTLE PRICKLYPEAR Cactaceae
