History / Story<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">strong gardenia-jasmine scent, tall grower | San Germaine aka Madison White, Venezuelan Snowball, St. Croix Honeysuckle. Honeysuckle 4 " White, intensely fragrant. Huge prolific bunches. Long flower stems. White flowers with beautiful long leaves, very strong jasmine fragrance, star shaped with pointed petals. Recommended. Richard and Mary Eggenberger, renowned authors of "The Handbook of Plumeria Culture", regard San Germaine as one of the most outstanding frangipanis from Hawaii. Plumeria caracasana hybrid. A fast growing well shaped medium evergreen tree with huge graceful frond like foliage and a clean, white barked, non suckering trunk make this a most beautiful ornamental tree even when not in flower. The medium flowers hang in huge bunches all over the tree. Very long flowering season and cold tolerant. The flowers have a beautiful softness about them. AND arguably the best perfume of all the frangipanis! White with a very strong honeysuckle scent. Very narrow leaves. One of the most fragrant of all plumeria along with Vera Cruz Rose. ^Color: Yellow ^3"-4" ^Blooming: Great.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
