Calotropis procera, commonly known as King's Crown or Giant Milkweed, is a small tree native to semi-arid regions. It is renowned for its large, oval-shaped, leathery leaves with smooth edges and a grayish-green matte velvety texture. The small crown-shaped flowers come in shades of purple to pale violet with a white center, hence the name 'King's Crown'. It is a perfect addition to any landscape or garden, especially if it has desert or tropical themes!
