Prickly pear is a bold, architectural cactus grown for its paddle-shaped stems, colorful flowers, and edible fruits and pads. It thrives in hot, sunny gardens where many other plants struggle, making it a favorite for water-wise landscapes. For home gardeners, it offers both ornamental appeal and a harvest of tender nopales and sweet tuna fruits.
Tree aeonium is a striking succulent shrub grown for its branching stems topped with bold rosettes of fleshy leaves.
