Description
Blush Pink, possibly synonymous with Little Pearl, produces pink flowers with very bright red petal undersides and a strong floral gardenia fragrance. It blooms nearly year-round, often remaining leafy, and is typically the first plumeria to bloom in spring and the last to finish in fall. In cold winters it goes dormant. It resembles the cultivar Gardena visually but differs distinctly in scent. Sets seed.
