Opuntia gomei – Old Mexico Prickly Pear Cactus Pad
Opuntia gomei, the Old Mexico prickly pear, grows large, rounded grey-green pads in a spreading clump, with yellow flowers in spring and red fruit. A tough landscape plant from south Texas and northern Mexico.
An unrooted pad, similar to the one pictured.
Full sun, little water, hardy to around 15°F. Let the pad dry a week, set it upright in dry soil, and wait 2–4 weeks before watering.
Shipped bare root, cleaned of soil, within 1 business day Monday–Friday, with a live arrival guarantee. If anything looks off on arrival, send us a clear photo within 48 hours before cutting or repotting — most post-shipping blemishes resolve on their own.
Everything we sell is grown on our family farm in Blythe, California, in the heart of the Sonoran Desert — pesticide-free, hand-pollinated and raised in full desert sun. No imports, no resellers.
