Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Pure white flowers are something of a rarity in the world of Adeniums but this one surely fits the bill with large white flowers and an unusual light green ring at the entrance to yellow throat. Desert Roses are super easy, drought tolerant, and free flowering throughout the warmer months of the year. Purchase this amazing Adenium and many more at Prejean's Nursery. Desert Roses make easy and rewarding container plants. For best results grow them in a fast draining cactus-like soil and allow the soil to become moderately dry between waterings. Grow them out of doors once the danger of frosts are fully past or grow them indoors in a south, east, or west facing window that gets direct sun. They do go semi-dormant during the short days of winter and may drop much of their foliage. Flowering is best from late winter to fall.
