Elf
Flower colors: Pink, Yellow, White. Growth habit: Dwarf.
Description
Elf is Jungle Jack's first Ultra Miniature plumeria, developed through decades of selective breeding and tested until it bloomed reliably in the nursery's Thai grove. The extremely dwarf plant produces vivid pink-and-yellow flowers, while approved source photos also document paler cream-pink blooms within the same source set. Dense branching, compact glossy foliage, and rounded flower clusters make Elf especially well suited to small containers, balconies, and limited growing spaces.
