5 Seeds Cadaba fruticosa Indian Cadaba Shrub Drought Tolerant Ornamental

Cadaba fruticosa, commonly called Indian Cadaba, is a flowering shrub native to dry regions of South Asia and Africa. It is valued for its arching branches, small greenish flowers, and its ability to thrive in hot, arid conditions where many other plants struggle, making it a striking ornamental choice for warm-climate gardens and xeriscapes.
This shrub works well as a standalone specimen, in mixed borders, or as part of a drought-tolerant landscape. Its slender branches and clusters of small blooms add texture and interest, while its compact habit suits both garden beds and large containers in warm climates. It performs best with plenty of sun and sharply drained soil.
