Desert Rose (Adenium obesum)

A showy succulent shrub with star-shaped blooms in white, pink, red and purple. These plants are prized for their bold, long-lasting flowers and make a striking focal in sunny spots.

Primarily grown as an ornamental, the blooms add bright color to containers, patios, and warm-season garden beds. They perform especially well where strong sun highlights their star-shaped flowers.

Care is straightforward: provide bright sun, very well-draining soil, and water sparingly. Desert rose plants are drought- and heat-tolerant but are sensitive to cold and do best in warm, frost-free climates. Overwatering or poorly drained soil can cause problems.

A note from us: we grow and care for our plants on our family homestead in Richmond Heights, FL. Local pickup is available, and we're happy to answer questions. Please handle with care and wear gloves when handling, as the sap can irritate skin.
