Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Each petal of these large fruitily fragrant beautiful Lei flowers are a rich dark pink at the edge and fade to a golden yellow toward the center. A beautiful and very free flowering Plumeria and we have to agree with Mike it is one of our favorites as well. Plumeria's large tropical foliage gives it a palm-like look making it a great addition around a pool. Easily grown in a patio pot, needs a fast draining soil. In colder climates, let it go dry in fall and store in a garage or other area where temperatures remain above freezing. Pull it out in the spring and start watering it and it will grow and bloom again.
