Adenium Obesum - Desert Rose - 210mm Pot Size Plant
The Desert Rose, or Adenium obesum, is a captivating succulent shrub that embodies the stark beauty of arid landscapes. With its swollen, bonsai-like base, known as a caudex, it stores water, allowing it to thrive in harsh, dry conditions. This unique feature, coupled with its vibrant, trumpet-shaped blooms, makes it a striking ornamental plant.
Its flowers, often a brilliant red or pink with a delicate white center, create a burst of color against the backdrop of its sparse, sometimes deciduous, foliage. This loss of leaves during colder periods is a natural adaptation, highlighting its resilience.
Perfect for xeriscaping, the Desert Rose demands minimal water, mirroring the needs of its succulent and cacti relatives. It flourishes in sunny positions and well-draining soil, making it an ideal choice for temperate climates. Its ability to withstand heat and drought makes it a low-maintenance yet visually stunning addition to any garden or indoor space.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 210mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. Since these are seeding grown the flower colour can be vary.
