Adenium multiflorum
impala lily
Description
Adenium multiflorum, commonly known as the winter-blooming adenium or impala lily, is a succulent shrub native to southern Africa. It is known for its striking appearance, which includes a swollen, bottle-shaped stem (caudex) that serves as a water storage organ, and branches topped with green leaves. During the winter months, it produces clusters of beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink and red. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun conditions. It is a drought-tolerant plant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Propagation is typically done by seed or stem cuttings, making it an adaptable plant.
