Deep Discount Plants are that way for a reason: they are not cosmetically up to our normal standards, and may lack symmetry, have bumps, scrapes, or broken tips; unattractive graft unions which might be uneven or less fused on one side; plants may be smaller or thinner than the usual size range; may be center-cuts, etc., etc. Plants are otherwise healthy and should grow out of any perceived imperfections over time. Plants are sold As Is–no returns or refunds accepted unless in the unlikely event plant should arrive dead.

This plumeria is named for the first person to document the hybridization of plumeria via selective cross-pollination. He used Daisy Wilcox (seed parent) and Scott Pratt (pollen parent) to develop the seedlings plumeria lovers have come to love and cherish. This one, the bearer of the most massive inflorescence (flower cluster) was aptly named to honor a gentleman who gave the plumeria world so much. The flowers are a little smaller—3 inches, and are a lovely rainbow of pink, white and gold. The scent is like sweet Grape Koolaid–very unique! The clusters of flowers can get to the size of a basket ball and the more mature the tree, the more intense the show. A true collector’s plant!
