Bring home a splash of desert color with this vibrant Santa Rita Purple Prickly Pear, a stunning cactus native to Cochise County, Arizona. This striking pad is perfect for potting or propagation and thrives in full sun with minimal care.
🍃 Key Features
 Color: Pads blush rich pinky-purple in winter or under drought stress and fade to soft blue-grey in summer. Exposure to full sun deepens the color—especially when neglected or in dormancy.
 Flowers: Dark yellow blooms ringed with copper appear in spring to early summer, creating a dramatic contrast against purple-toned pads.
 Fruit: Produces edible purple fruits after flowering—loved by wildlife and great for subtle harvesting.
 Structure: A rounded, tree-like cactus that grows to 4–6 ft tall and 8–10 ft wide at maturity. Pads are nearly circular and often spineless or with few central spines.

🌿 Care & Growing Tips
Light: Full sun enhances color and bloom potential.
Water: Water every 2–3 weeks during warm months; monthly or less in cooler seasons.
Soil: Use well-draining cactus mix.
Cold Hardy: Tolerates down to 0°F to -5°F (USDA Zone 7) when kept dry.
Container Friendly: Makes a stunning potted specimen or low-maintenance landscape accent.
Note: The purple coloring is often a result of neglect or winter dormancy. Because we send healthy, well-cared-for pads, they may arrive more green-blue. Color change is encouraged with time and environmental stress (sun, cold, dryness).

Buy these immediately!!!!!
Size: 3X, Color: (001) Black / / White
I was so happy to find a name brand pair of sweatpants in my size. When I ordered them, I thought I shouldn’t have wasted my money as I would probably have to return them. I was SO IMPRESSED!!! I tried them on and they fit like a glove. A little room to spare but I was so happy to have a nice pair of sweatpants. They are so comfy and warm. I got them on sale and they were a steal. I would have paid so much more buying them online or at a store. Thank you for having bigger sizes and clothes that are true to size. I love the way they look on me and fit!!! My new favorite pair of sweatpants and I even bought another pair. I now have two pairs in black. The sweatpants kept me warm on a cold day outside and just comfy enough without being too warm inside. The weight of the sweatpants is perfect.

Delayed delivery otherwise ok
Size: Large, Color: (025) Castlerock Light Heather / / White
Seems of good quality so far. Very comfortable. Fits well and doesn't look baggy. Took away a star because it was delivered over a month after purchase

Warm and cozy for winter
Size: X-Small, Color: Black (002)/White
I. Love. These. Pants. I have them in three colors and I feel like I live in them during these midwest winters. They are cozy and comfy for around the house, but are totally cute enough to wear out and don't feel like typical sweat pants or pajamas like some joggers can. They are warm and snuggly inside, which I like, and have held up really well after several washes. I would say they run a little small, so consider sizing up unless you like a snugger fit. I am usually between an XS and Small and went with XS on my orders. They are slightly loose but not baggy. They also are not super long, mine hit me near the top of my ankle and I'm 5'4". It doesn't bother me, but I do find myself pulling them down at the ankle when I get out of the car or stand up from the couch, because they just seem a little high. For a comfy, warm, casual but stylish athletic type winter pant (exactly what I was after)... this is it.
