Opuntia microdasys ‘Rufa’ is a durable and enchanting variety of Cactus known as the Cinnamon Bunny Ears. Its distinctive, ear-shaped, grey-green paddles are adorned with delicate, cinnamon-hued glochids, reminiscent of a cuddly bunny's fur. Compact in size, reaching an impressive height of up to 3 feet, this plant is a delightful addition to any dry landscape or a well-lit indoor space. The magic unfolds in late spring, when this unassuming plant surprises with an explosion of delicate, sunny yellow blooms. Its sun-loving nature, minimal water needs and unlike the many other plants, its penchant for dry, well-drained soil illustrate its hardy character inherited from its Mexican desert origins. Although its charm may be tempting, special caution is advised when handling this plant to avoid irritation from dislodged spines. Revel in the unexpected juxtaposition of unique aesthetics, resilience and simple care requirements that the Cinnamon Bunny Ears Cactus brings to your garden or indoor plant collection.
