Description

Desert Rose, Adenium Obesum, 10″ Pot, Large Flowering Plant for Indoors or Outdoors., 2ft Planted Height, 10″ Root ball

The desert rose (Adenium obesum) is a slow-growing plant (gaining less than 12 inches per year) that boasts a thick, succulent stem and deep pink flowers. It belongs to the genera Apocynaceae, which is native to Africa, the Middle East, and Madagascar. The desert rose is the only Adenium found in wide cultivation, although it has been hybridized extensively to obtain different flower colors (like orange and striped).

In many tropical and warmer climates (USDA zones 11 and 12), it’s a beloved ornamental outdoor plant, while in other parts of the country it adds color to the indoors. It’s best planted in the spring and is deciduous in cooler winters, but can be kept in leaf if it receives warm enough temperatures and a bit of water. Overall, this varietal is fairly easy to care for and pays off big time with its blooming beauty.,
