It will grow from 5 to 8 feet in the wild. The trunk form, foliage, and flowers are all very attractive. Each desert rose creates its own sculptural design. The base is large (obesum) and in various shapes. The shiny long green leaves are attractive. Leaves normally fall in Winter. Adenium Star-Studded Sky produces exotic white flowers throughout the year in full sun. The center is yellow. The blooms are of high purity and clean color. The Desert Rose produce a massive stem when growing older, but will start blooming when quite young, at only 6 inches tall. Do pruning after the plant's rest period.
