What is the difference between Plumeria varieties and cultivars?
Plumeria varieties refer to naturally occurring subspecies or forms of the plant that have distinct characteristics such as flower color, leaf shape, and growth habit. Cultivars, on the other hand, are cultivated variations resulting from controlled hybridization or selective breeding to emphasize specific traits. While varieties can exist in nature, cultivars are deliberately created by horticulturists to enhance desirable traits, making them valuable and unique in the horticultural trade.
