A. Swazicum – Pink (5 Seeds-1set)

Adenium swazicum is a dwarf, succulent shrub, that grows up to 700 mm high. A deciduous plant that loses all leaves in winter. The leaves appear together with the flowers in summer. The basal stem is large and swollen, short, succulent and partially buried. It can grow up to 150 mm in diameter and produces several greenish to greyish branches.

The leaves are simple and glossy green when young, narrow and long, up 100 mm long and 30 mm wide, clustered at branch ends. They are occasionally hairy underneath and often folded lengthwise (along the midrib). Flowers are showy, pink to deep reddish pink and appear mainly from late summer to autumn (Jan. to Apr.) with an average size of 60–70 mm in diameter. The fruits are pods that can grow up to 160 mm long and are brown when mature. Pods are horn-like, appearing in pairs of 2 attached together. The seeds are brown 12 to 14 mm long and 3 mm broad, and are attached to a dirty white tuft of hair. A. swazicum is a slow-growing plant, with a long life span.
