The Plumeria rubra "Desert Sunrise" is an exotic, tropical beauty, particularly impressive for its bright flower colors. The variety is characterized by large, intensely fragrant flowers, whose color play resembles a radiant sunrise in the desert. The flowers present themselves in warm shades of orange, gently transitioning to yellow and pink, often framed by a delicate, often darker edge.

Growth:

"Desert Sunrise" grows as a small, branched shrub or tree, reaching a height of about 1.5 to 3 meters in container culture. In frost-free regions, it can grow larger in the open ground. The growth form is typical for Plumerias: upright shoots with strikingly thick, succulent branches.

Leaves:

The leaves are elongated, glossy green, and create a beautiful contrast to the colorful flowers. They are deciduous and are often shed in winter.

Flower:

The flowering period extends from late spring to autumn. The flowers exude an intense, sweet fragrance with fruity and slightly spicy notes – typical for Plumerias and particularly popular among collectors.
