Heart of Gold

#324 in 2006. Dark pink 3”. Rounded highly overlapping petals, with upturned inner edge and with red bands on reverse. Large veiny golden yellow center. Coconut fragrance with excellent keeping quality with high tendency to fade. Medium to tall grower with elliptical green leaves with light red edge and acute hooked tips. Easiest to flower and grow. 2.5-3" in tight bunches on a compact tree. Pink to deep red, based on temperatures. The more heat, the deeper the coloration. A brilliant golden center that goes half way into the petals. The scent is of sweet coconuts. Great grower, prolific bloomer, and gorgeous color. Semi-compact growth. The branches tend to be thin and a lovely shape, strong grower, prolific bloomer. Extremely fragrant. Leggy growth habit. The branches are very long and thin, which is a shame because the flowers are gorgeous and carry a lovely coconut scent. Needs heat to bring out colors. One of the first 6 Aussie plumerias registered with PSA as well as the first in a group of Australian plumeria imported by a consortium made up of Kathee Brewer, Brad and Hetty. 2.5-3″ blooms in tight bunches of blooms on a semi-compact growing tree. The flowers range from pink to deep red, based on your temperatures. The more heat, the deeper the coloration. Brilliant golden center that goes out half way into the petals. The scent is of sweet coconuts.
