A highly variable, exceptionally fragrant plumeria displaying multiple color forms ranging from creamy white with orange-red throat to hot pink with orange center and off-white with yellow center. Color shifts with temperature—yellow streaks in cool conditions become red-orange streaks with heat. Blooms are long-lasting with thick petals and sweet scent. Excellent bloomer and vigorous brancher. Compact growth with thick, sturdy wood. Easy to root and dependable performer. Foliage is beautiful dark green with deep red veins and leaf edges. Semi-compact growth habit.
