Plumeria 'Hawaiian Sunset'

Plumeria 'Hawaiian Sunset,' possibly known as Rainbow Moragne, is a striking variety originating from Jim Little. Believed to be a seedling of Kimi Moragne, it features captivating reddish-orange 4-inch blooms with a velvet sheen on the backs of the petals. The round, moderately overlapping petals exude a sweet fragrance, while the vivid coloring offers a stunning visual display that is especially appealing in cooler conditions.

Vibrant 4-Inch Red-Orange Blooms

The 4-inch flowers of Plumeria 'Hawaiian Sunset' showcase bright red-orange coloration with red velvet bands on the back. The petals are round and moderately overlapped, creating a full, lush appearance. Subtle white veining on the underside adds further interest, and cooler temperatures bring out greater depth and vibrancy in the colors.

Sweet Fragrance

Alongside its vivid blooms, Plumeria 'Hawaiian Sunset' offers a sweet, enticing scent that complements its rich hues. This delightful fragrance enhances the overall appeal and makes it a pleasure to behold in any garden.

Medium Growth Habit

Though this variety grows taller, it maintains an upright, beefy trunk and well-clad branches that support large, lush blooms. With a medium growth rate, it can still form a bold presence in a landscape without appearing sparse or leggy.

Slow Rooter and Slow Grower

Plumeria 'Hawaiian Sunset' is noted for rooting slowly and growing at a measured pace, requiring patience from growers. It seldom sets seed, so propagation typically relies on cuttings or grafting rather than seed production.
