Description
Plumeria 'Engel'
Plumeria 'Engel,' also known as 'Engle' or 'Pudipetala cv Engel,' is a unique hybrid from Kukiat in Thailand. This cross between P. stenopetala and possibly P. pudica combines the best characteristics of its parents, creating a captivating plumeria with elegant white blooms, a strong sweet fragrance, and robust growth.
Delicate White Blooms
The 3-inch flowers of 'Engel' feature narrow petals with a clean white color, embodying simplicity and grace. The blooms form large bunches, enhancing the plant's ornamental appeal.
Strong Sweet Fragrance
One of the standout qualities of 'Engel' is its strong and sweet perfume, reminiscent of P. stenopetala. This delightful fragrance makes it a favorite for gardeners seeking aromatic plants.
Growth and Blooming Habits
'Engel' is a medium-growing tree with an upright growth habit, similar to P. pudica. It is a prolific bloomer, producing abundant flowers throughout the blooming season. The plant roots easily and grows quickly, often showing noticeable development by early spring.
Special Characteristics
This cultivar is an improvement over its parent P. stenopetala, with thicker petals and leaves that enhance its durability. It is also resistant to rust, a notable advantage in humid climates. However, its slender branches can be susceptible to wind damage, especially in hurricane-prone areas. Despite this, it sets seed readily, making it a good candidate for propagation and hybridization.
In Summary
Plumeria 'Engel' is a medium-growing, prolific bloomer with delicate white flowers, a strong sweet fragrance, and an upright growth habit. Its resistance to rust, fast growth, and aromatic qualities make it a standout addition to any plumeria collection.
