Adenium boehmianum
Bushman Poison
Description
Adenium boehmianum, or the Namibian Desert Rose, is a striking succulent shrub or small tree native to Namibia and Angola. It's known for its thick, swollen stem (caudex), which stores water, and its attractive, funnel-shaped flowers. The flowers come in shades of pink to red, adding a splash of color to the arid landscape. This plant is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Cultivating Adenium boehmianum involves providing a warm, sunny location, infrequent watering, and protecting it from frost, making it a great plant for collectors of succulents and those who want to decorate warm climates.
