This almost evergreen variety (except in unusually cold winters) is fast becoming a favorite landscape plant in our area. It blooms profusely and has a shrub-like appearance which makes it suitable for hedges etc. or as accent plants. Its only drawback is that the blooms have (virtually) no scent.
The most commonly seen yellow plumeria in South Florida. It tends to be somewhat lanky and the branches have a tendency to bend a lot, but the wonderful peach fragrance of the sunny blooms can't be beat!
This is a very tall grower.

Intense Rainbow flowers keep a long time and are therefore one of the premier choices for lei-making.
This is a very compact growing variety and therefore suitable to be grown in pots.
This attractive true dwarf variety can easily be grown in a pot, and if given sufficient heat and light, will keep its leaves and continue to bloom throughout the winter months.
The blooms of Plumeria rubra are extremely fragrant, but interestingly each variety or cultivar has a unique scent. This can range from fruity, to sweet floral, to intense gardenia-like. Occasionally a variety will have a less than pleasant odor, but most Plumeria blooms are delightfully scented. Some of the most fragrant varieties are 'Vera Cruz Rose' (rose-like scent), 'Mary Helen Eggenberger' (smells like sour candy), Makaha Sunn (strong floral fragrance, one of the best!) and Aztec Gold (smells of ripe peaches).
Please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the Scott Pratt is the ultimate historical plumeria variety in America. It was the first plumeria registered by the PSA. Enough history. This plant is a vigorous grower, a great bloomer, and (for a red) is easy to root.
