The parent throws warm yellow-to-golden-orange blooms heavily splashed and streaked with deep burgundy, crimson, and magenta, and that red pigment intensifies with heat and direct UV. Rounded, overlapping petals stack into dense, compact flower heads through spring and summer, carrying the sweet, fruity fragrance you expect from a high-heat rubra.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere’s the part I won’t gloss over: these are seeds, not cuttings. Plumeria grown from seed don’t clone the parent exactly — each seedling is its own genetic cross. What you’re buying is a shot at the ‘Pawsang’ color family, with real variation from plant to plant. Some will lean heavy burgundy, some more gold, and the splash pattern will differ across the tray. If you want the exact parent, you want a rooted cutting. If you want to grow out ten unique plants and select your favorites — which is how new named varieties get found — this is the fun way to do it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI grow Plumeria here in Zone 6, and they’re one of the easier tropicals to overwinter once you understand dormancy. As days shorten and temperatures drop below 50°F, the plant drops its leaves and rests — no water, no light needed, just a frost-free garage or basement. Come spring, it wakes up and runs. Seedlings started now under warmth and strong light will be well established before their first dormancy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGermination \u0026amp; care basics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStart warm: Seeds germinate best at 85–90°F.
