I imagine you receive a decent amount of snow accumulation in your 6A climate in Michigan. 1 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sempervivums and sedums just scrunch up, or die back, the cacti do well when its cold but the snow melted, even with moisture. I honestly thought the echinocereus was going to rot the entire winter, but it didnt. My Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@dts_3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not have expected the Sedum or Sempervivums to endure long periods in snow. 1 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlyn Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Your "idk what" Opuntia with the giant finger-impaling spikes looks a lot like a Polyacantha. I have one called "Dark Knight" that is ridiculously stabby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on where they originate, yes, many sps of both Genus can be very cold / frost / freeze tolerant. Some even grow in Alaska, Greenland / Iceland ( Sedum ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
