Plumeria du Jour - Salmon Pink
(Plumeria • )
This is a Thai variety with large flowers, overlapping pedals shaped like rounded diamonds with some twist to them, and a slightly fruity plumeria fragrance. The color is somewhat akin to dusty rose, or light creamy pink with a hint of brown when a bloom first opens, with a yellow-orange center.
The leaves are dark green, long and narrow, with a slight red edge. The young plant is medium sized with a somewhat thin stem. It’s pretty robust and has held up well in the hot Texas sun, possibly in part because it’s growing on grafted rootstock.
