Marble Ice Cream- A Rare Beauty!

Deep Discounted plants may have unusual shapes (e.g. center cuts, etc.), may lack symmetry, or are unattractive/uneven grafts that have fused but may be slightly open on one side. In addition, other traits, such as scarring, bumps or scrapes may be present, all above of which has qualified them not to be sold at regular price. These plants will grow over time and these cosmetic issues typically resolve themselves as the plant gains size.

One of our most beautiful, unique, and exclusive offerings developed by the well-known and respected plumeria hybridizer, Kukiat Tanteeratarm. This beautiful cultivar produces lovely, somewhat cupped, pale pink and white blooms with a fantastic and dramatic deep red striping, and, an orange throat. This striping is NOT the result of a virus! It is genetic (a chimera) and consistent in each and every flower. The blossoms measure at approx 3″ wide. Of course, they also come with a lovely, sweet fresh fragrance. Another interesting thing about this plant is that on mature trees, the branches develop a deep purplish coloration! So uniquely cool! Marble Ice Cream is one of two of the world’s very first striped plumeria varieties, both of which come from Kukiat (the other is Fantasia). This is a much anticipated return offering for this year by those that are familiar with Kukiat’s beautiful and unique hybrids. The attached picture is an excellent representation of the flowers you can expect from an established specimen. You will not find this plant any place else as the release of this beauty has been carefully coordinated with us. Brad’s Buds and Blooms is the only entity with direct authorization and permission from the grower, Kukiat, to receive from him— and— to sell this plant in the USA.

This discounted plant is a grafted single tip, and measures approx. 13″ from the soil line.
