Adenium obesum 'American Graffiti' Seeds

'American Graffiti' is one of the more expressive splash hybrids I carry — the kind of bloom that stops people at a show table. Each flower opens into a full, ruffled rosette with heavy dark magenta-crimson to deep rose margins, flecked and streaked over a creamy white-to-pale peach base. The center shifts into warm apricot-yellow tones, so you get real color movement from the outer petal edge into the throat rather than a flat, single-tone bloom.

The flower structure is multi-petaled — double to triple form — with densely layered petals that hold their shape well once open. Foliage is a rich, solid green that sets off the pattern instead of competing with it.

Growth habit is standard obesum: a thick, swollen caudex with sturdy, free-branching stems, so it develops the classic desert rose silhouette as it matures. No unusual care requirements beyond typical Adenium culture.

Zone 6 note: I grow and acclimate all my Adeniums here in Northern Kentucky, so what ships to you has already handled real temperature swings, not just greenhouse conditions. Bring it indoors well before first frost and hold off watering through winter dormancy — that's true whether you're in Zone 6 or Zone 9.
