Desert Rose is a favorite among Saudi gardeners. Known for its swollen stem and vibrant pink, red, or white trumpet-shaped blooms, it thrives in hot, dry conditions and makes a bold statement in containers. It requires minimal watering and performs beautifully in sunny spots.

Perfect for patios, entryways, and rooftop gardens, Desert Rose grows well in decorative ceramic or clay pots and complements modern or traditional spaces alike.

Portulaca (Moss Rose): Colorful Ground Cover for Pots

Portulaca is a sun-loving annual with bright, rose-like blooms in neon shades of pink, orange, yellow, and white. It tolerates intense heat, needs very little water, and thrives in shallow pots, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover in mixed containers.

It's an ideal choice for Saudi balconies and courtyards where heat and light are abundant. Just give it sunlight and minimal care, and it will reward you with constant blooms.

Periwinkle tolerates heat, humidity, and poor soil, making it one of the most reliable choices for busy gardeners. It performs well in containers or low beds and even helps attract butterflies.
