Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus

Opuntia microdasys 'Aurea'

Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus features distinctive oval pads that resemble rabbit ears, creating a whimsical and highly recognizable appearance. Bright yellow flowers appear seasonally, adding vibrant color against the green succulent pads.

The unusual shape provides year-round interest and pairs well with other drought-tolerant plants. Reaching about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide at maturity, this cactus develops a sculptural presence that works beautifully in xeriscapes, rock beds, and container displays.
