Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Each petal of this beautiful double flowered Adenium looks as though its been hand painted with water colors. The edge of each petal is finely painted with birght fuchsia that bleeds toward the white centers as well as having a broad dark stripe of fuchsia that runs from the outer edge to halfway to the base where the colors deepen again to fuchsia. This Desert Rose is grafted with a 3.5-4" wide caudex. Desert Roses are super easy, drought tolerant, and free flowering throughout the warmer months of the year. Very similar to Kanokpan. 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. Adeniums are heat and sun loving African desert tropicals that are closely related to Oleanders.
