Desert Rose Flamingo Glow (Adenium x arabicum) - seedling with caudex

Desert Rose Flamingo Glow is a dazzling Top Tropicals everblooming hybrid (A. arabicum x A. obesum) with soft pink blooms that glow like a flamingo at sunset, gradually deepening in color as they age - from delicate blush to rich rose with darker splashes that light up the petals. Compact and easy to grow, this variety has a naturally dwarf habit and forms a beautifully rounded caudex, making it perfect for containers or bonsai-style displays. A living jewel that glows brighter with time! The 2 mother plants we have in 7 gal pots are in bloom most of the time, almost year around, except for the dormancy period. These two stunning adeniums cross-pollinated and have produced seeds, and their offspring are now already blooming! These well-sized 3 year old seedlings have inherited the same vibrant, glowing color as their parents.
