Opuntia cacanapa Ellisiana Isodon After the flowers fade

After the flowers fade

although it can be divided after growing well for 3-5 years

we have found Polianthes 'Swarna Rekah' much more winter hardy than the unmutated double tuberose

but they look so rough that you'll probably want to cut them off

As with most Joe-Pye weeds

Opuntia cacanapa Ellisiana Isodon After the flowers fade(aka: Opuntia 'Burbank Spineless') Thanks to Scott Ogden and David Ferguson for pointing out a major error the plant we offered as 'Burbank Spineless' is the wrong plant. Burbank's plant is a form of the less hardy Opuntia ficus indica. Our plant is a spineless selection of the US Mexican native Opuntia cacanapa named 'Ellisiana'. For us, this fast growing but compact opuntia makes a 3' tall x 6' wide deer resistant mound (in 5 years) of 6" grey green
