Up to six months of huge vibrant blooms
The Desert Rose or ‘Adenium’ brings a tropical look wherever it goes with its large flowers that start to bloom in the early spring and last all the way until fall.
By storing water in their wide trunks Desert Roses are highly self-sufficient and can survive heat waves and droughts with very little attention. They’re the perfect hands free blooming trees for busy gardeners.
Desert Roses are low maintenance plants that will fit any project. They can be kept small as an indoor bonsai and they will amaze your friends and coworkers if kept on a tabletop, or on your desk at work. Desert Roses can also be kept in a larger container for an accent tree that will bring an island getaway vibe to any space.
If planted in the ground Desert Roses grow to about 6 feet tall, allowing them to fit anywhere, even under utility lines or by the pool. The possibilities for Desert Roses are endless. Simply decide where yours will look best and prepare for up to six months of blooms.
Each flower has a radiant hue that fades into white in the center, bright hues pop against the Desert Rose’s dark, lush leaves for an explosion of tropical color. The trunk is a shade of light grey with a unique shape. It’s wider at the bottom while the top is narrow, giving it a pyramidal shape.
Your family and neighbors won’t be able to resist the urge to ask about the tropical land where your Dessert Rose came from.

I ca n hardly wait!!!
Wonderful. Eagerly looking forward to her blooms!!!
Blooms and Dog Paws
I ordered a Desert Rose after falling in love with a picture of it. I ordered it 2 or 3 weeks ago and it showed up the day that my dog took her last breath. I repotted it 2 days later after stabilizing it in the sun for 2 days. It is so beautiful and it is a baby plant compared to the adult pictures. I am so happy that I can help it grow and watch the process over the next few years. My dogs remains will be here in 2 weeks and I will be setting the wooden urn underneath the blooms so they can sit in the sun together. Now I will have somewhere to go to talk to her while I watch the plant become an adult. I am very happy with this company and I have zero disappointment. I followed their care instructions and bought the mentioned soils on Amazon to accommodate the best plant growth. The plant is beyond beautiful.
My second Adenium from FGTs and couldn't be happier!
Beautiful, healthily plant. It did get a bit of a shock upon shipping and then the transplant but this little lady came back strong and put on new leaves quickly. I am very happy, but then again, I have never been disappointed with the quality or condition of any of the plants I have received from FGTs.
