Description

DayDream is a Jungle Jack cultivar from Thailand celebrated for huge 5-inch-plus classic rainbow flowers. Broad, overlapping petals blend cream-white, yellow, and pink, while hot conditions deepen the edges to rich magenta. The thick, long-lasting flowers are presented in large, full clusters on a medium tree, and the cultivar is a heavy bloomer. A light, sweet fragrance with a cucumber-like note adds to its character. Approved source photos show a wide range from pale cream-centered pink blooms to intensely colored hot-pink and yellow flowers.
