Similar to Desert Rose 'Giant,' Desert Rose 'Giant Diamond' has very large, fully double, pink and white, 3.5" blossoms. The petal edges and petal flares are deep rose pink. These flowers create quite a show when in full bloom. Grow in bright light and warm temperatures and allow the pot to dry out between waterings.
