Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Does a new bloom (eventually) change color?, 1 by Clare_CA

Hi Nan, the colors of a plumeria do fade in full sun so a red might fade to pink, and a pink might fade to white, etc. Different cultivars have different resistance to fading; i.e., some fade faster than others. A yellow would not change to red. With eBay sellers, you really have to know who are the good ones because, I'm afraid, there are quite a few bad ones out there. I've compiled a list of good ones and posted it here in this forum, but there are other good ones too. I'm glad it was inexpensive. Some of my friends have paid big bucks from sellers on eBay only to find out much later that what they got wasn't what they paid for.

Plumeria flowers can last for weeks on an inflo. As flowers fade and die, new ones should open. When you get some large flower heads, a tree will appear in bloom all summer long.

Here is a picture of my Tahitian Sunset which shows new and old blooms:
