Plumeria 'Mary Moragne'

Plumeria 'Mary Moragne', registered as PSA #181, is a graceful and compact hybrid renowned for its stunning blooms, delightful fragrance, and manageable growth habit. A hybrid of the legendary Daisy Wilcox and Scott Pratt varieties, this cultivar combines the best traits of its parents while maintaining a unique charm of its own.

The flowers of 'Mary Moragne' are a pale creamy pink with a golden-orange center, accented by darker pink shading along the outer edges. Each bloom measures approximately 4 inches and features long, oval petals with rounded tips, moderate overlapping, and a heavy texture. The blooms exhibit excellent keeping quality and a moderate tendency to fade, ensuring their beauty lasts throughout the season. This variety also boasts a spicy sweet fragrance that adds a delightful sensory experience.

In contrast to many other Moragne hybrids, 'Mary Moragne' is compact and spreads gently outward rather than growing quickly upward. This manageable growth habit makes it an excellent choice for small gardens or container planting. During the peak blooming season, this variety produces enormous flower heads with numerous blooms open at once, creating a breathtaking display.
