Where it grows
The ‘Impala Lily’ is native to the easternmost provinces of South Africa, and occurs from Kwazulu-Natal northwards into Limpopo.
Special features
Adenium multiflorum is likely one of the most popular caudiciform succulent plants available in horticulture. It produces magnificent bicolor light-pink flowers with dark pink edges in winter. It makes an excellent bonsai plant. It is also known as the Impala Lily.
Care Guide
This species prefers lots of light and should be kept in a sunny spot in the greenhouse, or in an area that receives full sun. Plant in an exceptionally well draining soil medium, as Adenium tends to get root rot easily. Water your Impala Lily in spring and summer, but keep it dry in winter when it is dormant.
