Large clusters of deep purple buds become 2 1/2 to 3" purple lavender blooms with dark veins and an orange center, and then fade to bluish silver hues. Needs heat to bring out the rich royal purple colors. Once the root system is strong, it is an eager and reliable bloomer on a medium sized tree. Sweet grape perfume. The very first, original lavender/purple plumeria on the market. A must-have for experienced and new plumeria lovers alike.
