A seedling of Camelot that first bloomed in 2017, this medium-sized tree is an excellent choice for collectors seeking a rare and distinctive plumeria.

Vibrant Multi-Colored Blooms

Merlin produces captivating red-and-white flowers accented by a gold hue near the center. These 2 1/2- to 3-inch blooms feature darker red centers and light striations, creating a vivid bouquet against green foliage. While naturally striking, they intensify under warmth, revealing deeper shades of color.
