Adenium, commonly known as Desert Rose produce flowers in striking reds, pinks and mauves; red-and-white bi-coloured flowers are fairly common. They are interesting caudiciform plants and make ideal pot plants. Known to occur in more arid regions, adeniums are sensitive to frost and waterlogged soils. The plants are usually deciduous during winter or the dry season. Adeniums do well in warmer gardens and their rather handsome flowers make them an attractive addition to a garden.

         

Adenium is a small genus of succulent shrubs that produces swollen stems, often with peculiar forms. When the starry flowers appear in masses, the appearance of the plant is completely transformed. The genus exhibits a great deal of natural variation in the form of the stems, form and colour of the flowers, and overall size.

Adenium is closely related to Pachypodium but is distinguished by the absence of stipules at the base of the leaves. The genus is not to be confused with Adenia which also has caudiciform stems or rootstocks, but they are green and the stems are usually twining. They are popular as indoor houseplants providing they receive a few hours of sunlight a day. They are well suited for growing in pots and rockeries.

Adenium obesum, the Desert Rose is a perennial found in semi-arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula and East to Southwest Africa. It is a multi-trunked shrub or small tree growing about half as wide as it does high. It will grow from 1.5 to 2.4 m in the wild. The trunk form, foliage, and flowers are all very attractive. Each desert rose creates its own sculptural design. Adenium obesum produces exotic 5 cm pink and white, open-trumpet shaped flowers throughout the year in full sun. The Desert Rose produces a massive stem when growing older, but will start blooming when quite young, at only 15 cm in height. It makes a nice Bonsai.
