The adenium colors everyone is talking about right now: Adenium rainbow 🌈

Some adeniums pull you in with color. Others with shape.
And a few… just look different from anything else on the bench.
This set leans into contrast - deep tones, bright golds, and a few forms that don’t quite follow the rules.


💡 Light tip for hot climates



In places like Florida, South California, or Texas, full sun can actually be too intense for adeniums.
They grow just fine in bright, filtered light - even indoors - which makes them surprisingly good houseplants.

In extreme heat:
  • 🔸 Keep them in filtered light to protect leaves and extend bloom life. Flowers last longer and won’t burn.
  • 🔸 Bright light is important, but avoid harsh midday sun.
  • 🔸 Deep shade is too much and will reduce flowering.
  • 🔸 Dry air is not a problem - adeniums actually prefer it.


🌸 Today's featured adeniums


  •  ✦ Black Rahu: Dark, intense tones with a bold presence - one of the more striking “black” types.
  •  ✦ Black Swan: Elegant shape with deep coloring - feels refined and a bit dramatic without trying.
  •  ✦ Carnation: Layered, ruffled petals that give it a fuller, almost classic flower look.
  •  ✦ Camellia: Full, layered petals in a soft rosette form - looks more like a classic garden flower than a typical adenium.
  •  ✦ Golden Millionaire: Rich golden tones with a strong, bright look - warm and eye-catching.
  •  ✦ Golden Star: Clean yellow blooms with a crisp form - simple, bright, and very balanced.

A mix like this gives you contrast right away - dark next to gold, simple next to unusual.
That’s what makes a collection interesting: not just how many you have, but how different they feel side by side.
