Description

Captivate is a Jungle Jack miniature cultivar from Thailand with delicate, highly changeable 2- to 3-inch flowers. Approved source photos show gold, cream, pink, orange, and deep red forms, often within the same plant or season; pointed, recurved pagoda-style tips give the blooms distinctive movement. The thick, long-lasting flowers carry a spicy scent and form dense clusters on short branch tips. A slow-growing, very branchy compact tree, Captivate is especially suited to small gardens and containers while remaining a faithful bloomer.
