Opuntia azurea is an impressive cactus species that stands out in particular due to the bluish coloration of its paddle-shaped limbs that gives it its name. These blue-green segments give the plant a unique look and clearly set it apart from other Opuntia species. Under optimal conditions, Opuntia azurea develops bright yellow flowers in summer, which form a beautiful contrast to the blue-green bodies. This robust and easy-care plant is ideal for sunny locations and is a real eye-catcher in any collection.
