Opuntia Polyacantha ‘Erinacea’ - Grizzly Bear Prickly Pear

Opuntia Polyacantha ‘Erinacea’, commonly known as the Grizzly Bear Prickly Pear, is a rare and striking North American cactus celebrated for its dense, globular pads and clusters of long, silvery-grey spines. Its compact, mound-forming growth habit creates a sculptural and visually compelling presence, making it a standout specimen in both xeriscape gardens and curated succulent collections.

At TOMs FLOWer CLUB, each Opuntia polyacantha ‘Erinacea’ is carefully propagated from our personal collection, ensuring a healthy, slow-growing plant with a well-developed root system.
