Desert Rose Picotee - Adenium obesum
$21.99
+ Free Shipping
If you're dreaming of rain, desert sand gardens, and the secret promise of love, you're probably hearing and seeing Desert Roses in your dreams just like Sting did in his hit song of the same title. This dramatic, no-fuss natural bonsai, will intoxicate you with its stunning blooms. It's got a lot of junk in its trunk, but for a wise purpose: it swells up to hold water for times with little rain. Like cacti and succulents, Desert Roses require minimal but regular watering and full sunshine. If your plant starts to lose its leaves, no fear! They will grow back if you listen to its call for a little more H2O. These are super-slow growers. Grow Desert Roses in a pot like a bonsai or out in the landscape if you live in a frost-free area. The Picotee variety has white/pink flowers. Our Desert Roses ship bare-root.
