5 striking variegated plumerias you can’t ignore. Soil tip 🌈

Variegated plumerias are a whole different level - not just flowers, but foliage that steals the show even when the plant is not in bloom. This batch feels rare, collectible, and a little addictive… once you see them, it’s hard to stop at just one.

🌸 Today's featured plumerias


  •  ✦ Plumeria Pink Border Leaf Variegated - silver-green leaves with dark pink veins and a distinct pink edge, often deepening in new growth. Bright red flowers add strong contrast.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Golden Leaf - grown as much for its glowing golden foliage as for its soft yellow flowers with creamy edges. One of those varieties that stands out even without blooms.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Anyamanee Yellow Variegated - bright yellow flowers paired with dark green leaves streaked in yellow, creating a bold, high-contrast look. The Thai name means rare jewel, and it fits perfectly.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Maya Red Variegated - rich red-pink flowers with variegated leaves touched by reddish tones, giving the whole plant a warm, layered look. Fragrant and very eye-catching.

  •  ✦ Plumeria Silver Leaf Variegated - silvery variegated foliage paired with soft yellow blooms, creating a clean, elegant contrast. A collectible type that feels a bit different from typical plumerias.


💡 Plumeria tip: soil and drainage



Plumerias hate wet feet. Give them a fast-draining, airy mix so roots can breathe - think chunky soil with perlite, bark, and coconut fiber. A simple formula that works very well is Sunshine Abundance soilless formula mixed 50/50 with coarse sand - it drains quickly and keeps roots healthy and rot-free.

Known as a symbol of Hawaii and the Aloha spirit, they’re loved for their scent, their beauty, and how effortlessly they turn any space into something special. And the best part - their colors feel almost endless, from soft pastels to rich, glowing tropical tones, even into rainbow-like multicolor blooms.

💡 How to Grow a Blooming Plumeria?



Plumerias are surprisingly easy to grow - once you follow a few simple rules, they almost take care of themselves. Give them sun, fast-draining soil, and don’t overwater, and they’ll reward you with strong growth and fragrant blooms.

Petals are smooth and slightly overlapping, giving flowers a rounded, softly layered look. It blooms in dense clusters, creating a lush, full appearance that stands out from a distance while still showing nice detail up close.
  •  ✦ Plumeria Som Paruay - a bright, cheerful "Rainbow" variety with golden-yellow centers blending into orange, coral, and rosy pink edges. The smooth color gradient gives each flower a warm, glowing look. Clusters are vibrant and lively, adding strong tropical color. The name comes from Thai - Som means orange, Paruay refers to prosperity and good fortune.
  •  ✦ Plumeria Yellow Maha - a striking variety with extra-long petals in bright yellow, cleanly outlined in white. The shape alone makes it stand out. It is also super aromatic - yellow varieties are the most fragrant, filling the air with a strong, sweet scent.

A Miracle in the Garden: Watching a Tiger Swallowtail Rebuild Itself on a Magnolia Champaka - Joy Perfume Tree

Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

A Miracle in the Garden: Watching a Tiger Swallowtail Rebuild Itself on a Magnolia Champaka - Joy Perfume Tree 🐯

Tiger Swallowtail Metamorphosis: From Cocoon to Joy
  • 🏼 Nature’s most mind-blowing magic trick happened right here on a branch of our Magnolia champaka - the Joy Perfume Tree. Did you know that when a caterpillar enters its chrysalis (cocoon), it literally dissolves its body and rebuilds it from scratch?
  • 🏼 This Tiger Swallowtail chose the legendary Joy Perfume Tree as its nursery. It’s a match made in heaven—the "flying tiger" of North America born on a tree famous for the world’s most expensive perfume scent. While most people know the Champaka for its intensely fragrant flowers, few realize that even the leaves release a soft, sweet aroma when brushed against.
  • 🏼 In this video, you’ll see the rare moment of eclosion - where the butterfly emerges with soft, wrinkled wings and begins the slow process of pumping life into them before its first flight.
  • 🏼 It is a real gem in your garden - not just for fragrance lovers, but for wildlife that clearly loves it too.
Watch this Tiger Swallowtail butterfly being born on a Champaka - Joy Perfume tree!
