A native of East Africa and a relative of the plumeria, the Desert Rose is a dramatic, one-of-a-kind plant that thrives in sunny, low-moisture environments. Its most unique feature is its greenish-gray bulbous base, known as the caudex, which grows with age. Its trumpet-shaped pink and white flowers, fleshy green leaves and swollen base make it a perfect specimen for a non-traditional, instantaneous bonsai! The perfect container plant for any home, deck, or patio. Low to no maintenance! There's no need to worry about this tough, drought-tolerant plant while you're away. Includes one actively growing plant in a 4" grow pot.
