SKU: 20001331These are the seeds of various compact plumerias, grown by the Garden.org member GigiAdeniumPlumeria. This is a limited release and is likely the only plumeria seeds we will offer this year.
These compact plumeria seedlings can start blooming at 4 feet tall and the branches' growth habit are short - some 5 to 8 inches long per year. The original (not pruned) branches of an 11 year old seed grown is almost 8 feet tall. It can rebloom even when branches are only 3 to 4 inches long. These are good container grown plumerias, and a mature multi-branch cutting can stay below 4 feet tall for a few years if container grown. (In Gigi's experience, seedlings grow taller faster, while cuttings grow in much slower pace.)
We tested these seeds and got around 50% germation, so please plan ahead for that. A packet of 10 seeds should produce an average of 5 seedlings. As this is a limited production, we will not be able to replace packets that fail to germinate. Please only order a packet of these if you are prepared to take this risk.
We also have Desert Rose seeds available from Gigi.
