Description

Inca Gold is a Jungle Jack cultivar from Thailand prized for bright, solid-yellow 3 to 3.5-inch blooms, sometimes edged in white during cooler conditions. The thick, wide petals form rounded, cupped flowers in large clusters, with a medium-to-strong floral perfume carrying jasmine undertones. It is an early, heavy bloomer on a vigorous semi-compact to medium tree; trusted source notes describe it as easy to root, seed-setting, and well suited to coastal conditions or partial shade in very hot climates where its foliage may be sun-sensitive. As the plant matures, blooms may become larger and more impressive.
