Largest plumeria flower?

10 years ago

Someone mentioned flower size in another post, and it got me thinking which Plumeria has the largest flower? And how big across is your largest individual flower?

Giant Star is probably the biggest I have. its plain white with limited scent and I don't like its growth habits. Slightly smaller blooms on Dwarf Deciduous White but a better specimen in my eyes. So I replaced Giant Star and it's way in the back of the grove.

Dean Conklin is probably one of the largest Pink/Oranges. I pruned back my big DC this last winter so I only have cuttings blooming right now and they have smaller late season flowers are still about 4 inches across. IMO it's a cultivar that is too often overlooked.

I think Daisy Wilcox which is the other half of Morange family is one of the largest Plumerias.

Vishanu Gold supposedly has the biggest blooms. I have mine since 2012 and it is very stubborn and has not bloomed for me. So not sure how big the blooms and if it is worth it. Next is Butterfly Gold, blooms are supposed to be huge.

Size is determined not only by genes but by plant size and vigor. Usually better when grown in the ground vs in a pot.

Califonia Sally can get big too!

Early season blooms can also be bigger than late season. Probably ties to what Dave posted about vigor (energy available) for blooms.
