Description
Heirloom #257 Barbara Randolph seedling. 3 ½” butterscotch yellow covering 3/4 of petal fading to creamy yellow outer edge. Red veining radiates from eye. Mahogany vein runs from center to tip and tone is suffused throughout the petal, mahogany outer edge on reverse, wide oval petals, wavy inner edges, pointed tips, highly overlapping, heavy texture, strong spicy cinnamon scent, keeping quality good. Seed parent: Summer Spice. Smallest leaves of any plumeria with excellent branching and is a compact grower. The petals have good substance providing lasting blooms. 4" quirky twisting mid pink veined petals with a kaleidoscope-like center of orange and red, alternating. Very heat sensitive with its best color showing in intense heat. Smallest leaves of any plumeria with excellent branching and is a compact grower. Good substance providing lasting blooms. Wide thick petals overlap. Butterscotch color. No hot afternoon sun, never allow 'Heirloom' to dry out or it will drop buds. Blooms on short stems, and the reddish foliage is beautiful even when there aren't any blooms. Check back in three years when you have a short bushy plant blooming on all tips. Slow grower.
