Description
from Jungle Jacks in Thailand. Lovely and unusual plumeria. Despite the confusion in names, this is a MUST HAVE for your collection. Jack has a sweet soft perfume and a 3" flower with more on pink in my cooler area. Purple Jack is a lavender but only if you have enough heat and light. First purple color plumeria available in US, purple color with darker veins throughout the flowers, orange color toward center.
