The most common of the Adeniums, this species is from East Africa. It has a nice caudex with numerous branches that, if unchecked by pruning, can create a large shrub. The leaves are ovate, and the flower is large and highly variable, but we purposefully selected some plants with a purple cast to the flowers for propagation. Then we crossed these with DP191, a Dave Palzkill selection of Adenium obesum with striking flowers. We offer seedlings of flowering size in 8-inch pots.
