Chenille Prickly Pear

This eye-catching prickly pear variety stands out with its soft-looking, fuzzy pads covered in dense reddish-brown glochids—tiny hair-like spines that give it a velvety, chenille-like appearance (but don’t touch!). It produces yellow blooms in spring and thrives in hot, arid climates. Native to the Southwest, it adds unique texture and color to any desert landscape.
