Description

Elza is a Florida Colors Nursery seedling of Aztec Gold, selected for its huge 5- to 6-inch white star-shaped flowers with a warm yellow center and occasional soft pink edging and reverse. Broad, elongated petals form a distinctive open star, and red-pink buds develop into large rounded clusters that can cover the short-to-medium tree. Florida Colors describes Elza as a great bloomer with a fresh classic plumeria fragrance and medium growth of about 12 to 24 inches per year. The approved archive includes both close flower studies and a whole-tree view, documenting its dense canopy and heavy bloom presentation.
