Sumatran Tiger Eye
Colors
Description
A rare and extremely expensive Southeast Asian plumeria with splash pattern similar to Sudamala, Bali Tiger, and Indonesian RB. The splash pattern is inconsistent and blooms do not always match the photo. Reportedly severely infected with virus, though this is unverified. Roots fast, grows well, blooms well, and has a beautiful growth habit without needing to be topped. Very difficult to grow in some climates. Collected in 1986 from S.E. Asia; referenced on page 94 of 'Growing Plumeria in Hawaii and Around the World.'
