Beaver-rita Hybrid Prickly Pear 🌵

A Unique Desert Beauty

The Beaver-rita Hybrid Prickly Pear is a stunning cross between two beloved desert favorites—the Santa Rita Prickly Pear and the Beavertail Prickly Pear. This rare hybrid combines the rich purple coloration of Santa Rita with the vibrant pink flowers of Beavertail, creating a truly eye-catching cactus for landscapes or containers.

Compared to our Santa Rita × Beavertail hybrid, the Beaver-rita has a more upright growth habit, with Santa Rita traits being more dominant in its structure and pad shape.

🌸 Key Features

Purple-Tinged Pads

This hybrid displays the rounded, flat pad shape and purple coloration of the Santa Rita Prickly Pear. Pad color may range from bluish-green to deep purple depending on sun exposure, temperature, and moisture levels, giving it dynamic, ever-changing appeal.

Pink Flowers 🌺

In spring, the Beaver-rita Hybrid produces beautiful pink blooms, inherited from its Beavertail parent. The flowers contrast strikingly against the purple pads and add a bold seasonal highlight.

Compact, Manageable Size 🌱

Typically reaches about 3 ft. tall x 3 ft. wide at maturity, making it ideal for smaller gardens, focal plantings, and container growing.

Cold Hardy ❄️

Tolerates nighttime temperatures into the low teens, making it suitable for USDA zones 7a–11 and areas that experience occasional frost.
