All the dirt on Carissa grandiflora 'Desert Star' Plants
This petite powerhouse packs a punch! Its compact, glossy foliage is attractive and has small thorns to help keep those unwanted visitors away. Treat yourself with its edible fruit then enjoy the sweet aroma of white star-shaped flowers - it's an evergreen gift that keeps on giving! The Carissa Desert Star likes to soak up the sun and keep its feet firmly planted in soil jam-packed with nutrients. Keep it happy with a generous layer of mulch and some good old fashioned TLC, then enjoy relatively low maintenance gardening bliss!
Desert Star is easy to care for and perfect for busy people who want a lovely garden but would rather not commit hours of their time: just give her plenty of sun and well-drained soil and the gurl takes care of herself. Plus she's drought tolerant, so if you happen to forget watering her every other day she'll be fine! That makes Desert Star wonderful choice for those areas where water restrictions in place or lack thereof - where water is hard to come by.
