Detailed Information
While ‘Fireblast’ is a cultivar of Plumeria rubra, the native region of the *species* Plumeria rubra is:
* **Central America and the Caribbean.**
Specifically, it’s believed to originate from:
* Mexico
* Central America (Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama)
* The Caribbean Islands (such as the Greater Antilles)
It has since been widely cultivated and naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. So even though ‘Fireblast’ might be bred elsewhere, its genetic origin traces back to these Central American and Caribbean regions.
