Opuntia Fragilis var. Denudata – Potato Cactus (Very Cold Hardy)

Irresistibly cute, yet hardy to -40C or colder!  This surprising beauty can grow outdoors in much of the country.  Compact, round, nearly spinless pads spread over time and blush beautifully in purple when sun kissed outdoors.  My favourite cold hardy cactus.
