This listing is for various quantities of Opuntia violaceae var. Santa Rita prickly pear cactus cuttings. Santa Rita prickly pear is one of the most colorful of the Opuntia family. It's moderate sized pads (6" to 8" diameter) are a deep purple color when young, progressing to a blue-green shade with purple margins as they mature. The pads have spines on the margins and glochids (small, fine whisker-like needles) on the face - so this one is to be handled with some caution. This bold prickly pear adds color and texture to any landscape and may achieve 4' of height and 6' of width. Spring / summer flowers are a beautiful bright lemon yellow color, followed by purplish colored small (2") fruit. Native to northern Mexico, this specimen loves full sun and is cold hardy into the mid-teens. The fruit (or pear) of the prickly pear - called a "tuna" - is also edible and is used in jellies and other sweets. Planting instructions will be included with your purchase! ** Please note: It could take us several days to get your order prepared. We take your cuttings FRESH TO ORDER, and gather them approximately twice a week. **

Viola pedata, commonly known as the bird's foot violet or bird's foot violet, is a charming and distinctive perennial wildflower native to North America. This delicate yet resilient plant is celebrated for its unique, bird-like, foot-shaped leaves, which give it its name. It produces solitary, eye-catching flowers with a combination of lavender, blue, or purple petals, often adorned with distinctive dark lines or spots, making it a standout in woodland and prairie settings. Bird's foot violet is a hardy species that thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils, making it a valuable addition to naturalistic and native plant gardens. Its early spring blooms offer a vital food source for early pollinators like bees and butterflies, highlighting its ecological importance. Viola pedata's graceful appearance and habitat value make it a beloved wildflower for gardeners seeking to enhance biodiversity and enjoy the beauty of native North American flora. Zones 4-9 Germination Germinating Viola pedata from seeds can be a straightforward process. Plant the seeds in a well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil, barely covering them with a thin layer of soil. Lightly press the seeds into the soil. Moisten the soil gently, but avoid overwatering. Bird's foot violet seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification to break seed dormancy. To mimic this, place the containers or seedbeds in the refrigerator for about 4-6 weeks. After this period, move them to a location with indirect or filtered sunlight and maintain consistent moisture in the soil. Germination usually occurs within a few weeks to several months. Once the seedlings are strong enough, they can be transplanted into the garden or natural area, where Viola pedata will be enchanted with its bird-like leaves and charming blooms in shades of lavender, blue, or purple.
