Adenium obesum Mary Poppins
Karoo rose - Desert rose - Impala lily Mary Poppins
Description
Adenium obesum 'Mary Poppins' is a captivating succulent known for its compact form and striking flowers. This cultivar of the desert rose features a swollen caudex (the base of the stem) that stores water, making it well-adapted to arid environments. Its most prominent feature is its beautiful flowers, often a combination of vibrant pink, red, and white, blooming in profusion throughout the warmer months. The plant itself can remain relatively small, making it perfect for container gardening. To ensure vibrant blooms, provide 'Mary Poppins' with ample sunlight and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Regular watering during the growing season is essential, but it's crucial to allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
