OP111: Opuntia fragilis 'Tiny Michigan Form' COLD HARDY CACTUS

Kelly's had this little gem on the stock plant table for years.  He received it from a cactus collector who is long gone.  Finally, the plant is big enough to share.  We have it in 2.5" pots and they are adorable but "fragile" (brittle) as the name would suggest.  These should be hardy to at least zone 3.  This is from a woodland environment so it should tolerate lots of moisture if the soil is very well-drained.  Ideal for the crevice rock garden, dish garden or trough.  The tiny pads are generally less than an inch across and the little yellow flowers appear sparsely in June.  2" high x 12" wide.  Sun or shade.  Zone 3.  Sold in 2.5" pot.
