Plumeria ‘Cancun Dreams’
Plumeria 'Cancun Dreams' offers fragrant flowers that emerge dark pink and age through pink to white with orange centres.
Plumeria or frangipani are tropical large shrubs or small trees with thick, succulent trunks and lush green paddle-shaped leaves. They are famous for their magnificent, boldly-coloured and sweetly-scented flowers used to make leis, the flower necklaces of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands. They are also used by various other cultures around the world. The flowers are often darkest in colour when they first emerge and lighten as they age. They are most strongly scented at night with notes of jasmine, citrus, gardenia, and other tropical fragrances. Grow them as a houseplant in winter with a summer vacation outside in the warmer months. They are drought tolerant but regular watering and fertilizing will get you the most flowers. ‘Cancun Dreams’ offers fragrant flowers that emerge dark pink and age through pink to white with orange centres. Our plants are about 1.5 feet tall.
