Interested in hardy cacti, specifically the few that will thrive outside in the UK.

Re: Cumulopuntia
That's a cracking plant that I've not come across in the past. One to add to the wants list for sure.
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

Re: Cumulopuntia
You'll come across this under the name Cumulopuntia rossiana more often than pentlandii.

Re: Cumulopuntia
Can Cumulopuntia Pentlandii survive the British winter outside?

Re: Cumulopuntia
A nice specimen of Cumulopuntia rossiana. And early flowers too, 
Outside, in the open, it would not like the amount of rain we have had this winter. Outside, under cover, it would be very happy.

Re: Cumulopuntia
Simon ; In Chesterfield it would turn to mush, maybe ok for a couple of months outside in summer. But what benefit would that give you ?
Snails and slugs would love it and a beautiful plant would be ruined.
