Plumeria rubra 'Gred Gaew' ('Gred Gaew' Plumeria)

Plumeria commemorates Charles Plumier, a seventeenth-century French botanist who described several tropical species. The genus contains 8 species of mainly deciduous shrubs and trees, originally from Central America, known for their strongly fragrant flowers. The tree can reach a height of 9m, though they are generally much smaller. Their fleshy branches contain a poisonous, milk sap. In the tropics, the terminally held flowers (generally white) appear before the leaves and continue to flower for most of the year. In subtropical climates the flowers appear in spring, after the leaves, and continue growing until the next winter. The fruit consist of 2 leathery follicles, althought the trees rarely fruit in cultivation. Most plumerias in gardens are hybrids. Plumerias are very salt tolerant.

Plumeria Gred Gaew has a soft, elegant color palette that leans toward warm coral and peach tones. The petals open in gentle pink shades, blending smoothly into a glowing orange center that gives the flower a warm, sunlit appearance.

A thin, clean white edge outlines each petal, adding sharp definition and making the flower look crisp and refined. The petals themselves are broad and slightly overlapping, forming a balanced, rounded bloom with a smooth, polished shape.

This variety feels calm and sophisticated rather than bold - more about harmony than contrast. A great choice if you like warm tones with a soft, refined finish that still stands out without being overpowering.
