Appearance
The plumeria shrub features oblong, glossy green leaves. The leaves can grow up to 20 inches long, depending on the variety. The flowers, which bloom from June to November, have a waxy appearance and can be cream, pink, yellow, red or a combination of those colors. The blooms are large--growing up to 4 inches across--and fragrant. Each color has a slightly different fragrance. The flowers are also unique in that they tend to pile up on top of one another. The canopy of the plumeria shrub is shaped like an umbrella. The plant can be trained to grow on one trunk or as a bush. Plumerias can also be grown as indoor plants.
