Care

Pruning about 3 inches off the top of the branches yearly will make the plant more of a showy specimen with increased branching and canopy.

Leaves

The leaves are distinctive, "They have a very short petiole, and are fiddle-shaped due to a pair of broad lobes above the middle." Although designated as an evergreen under extended drought conditions it can loose its leaves if not watered.  

Flowers

Flowers are a beautiful intense white growing in clusters, in such a way to look like a bouquet, therefore the name bridal bouquet. These flowers do not have a fragrance which is notable with other plumerias.
