Add a bold, desert-inspired statement to your garden or home with the Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia). Known for its distinctive paddle-shaped pads and vibrant blooms, this hardy cactus is both functional and decorative. Perfect for Sri Lanka’s warm climate, the Prickly Pear thrives in sunny, dry conditions and is incredibly low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all levels.

Key Features:
