A particularly charming little shrub to only about 18" in height and width

Opuntia humifusa - dwarf from Claude Barr Mediterranean sprawling shrub native to SpainThis early selection by Great Plains plantsman Claude Barr grows to only 5 6" in height but forms a rather dense mat of rounded, shiny green and nearly spineless pads to about 3 ft wide. Cheery yellow flowers appear in summer followed by reddish fruit. Fabulous for planters or as spillers and easy to grow in most soil provided there is no standing water. Some summer water helps to push growth. Frost hardy in USDA zone 3 or 4. DWARF EASTERN PRICKLY
