Euphorbia Cristata : Desert rose plant

Wanapluk Garden : Desert rose plant

FLOWERS. As with many members of the Apocynaceae (e.g., oleander and frangipani), flowers are salverform (tubular at base, with flared lips), and range in color from deep purplish-red, through pink to white. The many cvs come in various color blends, shapes and sizes (up to 3"). A few have the added bonus of an attractive fragrance. Small, terminal clusters (corymbs) of flowers are produced during most of the year, though in some cvs flowering is more restricted. In Florida, desert rose (plant) is at its showiest during the drier months of the year, from late Winter to early Summer, and can be at times almost totally covered in blooms.

FRUIT. The fruit, termed a follicle, splits along one side as it dries, releasing seeds bearing a pappus (tuft of hairs which aids in dispersal) at each end. Seed production is not reliable, since pollination often is not successful, due to male or female sterility, which is common in plants in cultivation.

CULTIVARS. Several cvs of desert rose (plant) are available, including ‘Singapore’, with large rose-pink flowers, and ‘Grumbley’s White’, with white flowers. Growers in Thailand have produced hundreds of new cvs which are gradually being introduced to the US. Many of these retain their Thai names and can be expensive. They are available from only a few U.S. mail-order nurseries. The closely related A. swazicum and A. somalense are also available.
