Beavertail Pricklypear (Opuntia basilaris) is a striking medium-sized cactus distinguished by its broad, paddle-shaped leaf segments and stunning magenta blooms. Unlike many cacti, the pads lack prominent spines but feature fine barbs requiring careful handling. This species excels in spring and early summer with prolific flowering that attracts pollinators and adds dramatic color to xeric gardens. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives in well-draining soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscaping and desert-adapted plantings.
