Among the most favored of all garden cacti is the paddle cactus (Opuntia sp). Some species are native to the Canadian prairies, making them hardy to zones 3 or 4 — hardy, maybe, but drenching sunshine and super well-drained soil are still mandatory. Here, we have a charming duo of Opuntia x ellisiana and Yucca glauca.

In the same vein but much hardier (zone 4 and up) are yuccas (Yucca flaccida 'Golden Sword' is shown here). Their rosettes of spiky foliage play a major role in any desert garden design; being so charismatic, they are the anchor around which other plants evolve. A creeping verbena fires off this combination
