Enchanted Incense: absolutely NEW perfume plant! It is becoming one of the most wanted in rare fragrant plant market
Beautiful striped red-and-white flowers are highly fragrant. Fragrance is the most intense you can imagine and is much better than all jasmines and gardenias all together.
The plant is very similar to plumeria in growth habit (and is close related to Plumeria). It grows into a small tree. Unlike Plumeria, it is evergreen in warm climate.
Beautiful mauve colored leaves are very ornamental.
Slow growing, compact plant, great for containers. Very undemanding and has low water needs.
This amazing flower was recommended to us by our friend horticulturist John Mood, he discovered it in Thailand.
