White-yellow Frangipani (Plumeria rubra) with their clusters of beautiful fragrant flowers are the classics among the popular tropical plants. They are made into beautiful flower garlands or leis not only in the Caribbean and South Seas, and usually are the entrance into the fascinating world of these fragrant flower wonders. The flowers have five petals and are white with a yellow eye. Due to its robust and vigorous nature, this variety is preferable to the more tender Plumeria obtusa as a container plant in Central Europe.

General information on Plumeria (Frangipani):
Each individual plant blooms at a different time, making accurate predictions impossible. In our experience, the flowering period in this country is usually in the mid to late summer months. It is wrong to assume that flowers will only appear above a branching. Also saplings with no branching can produce flowers. Instead, they are most likely to branch after flowering! Plumeria prefer to grow in loose soil mixed with lava, expanded clay or coarse sand and are thankful for a regular spraying of the leaves (high humidity). The care of the water-storing plants (succulents) varies depending on the season: in summer, the plants need a constant supply of water. Drought will cause the leaves to discolorate and fall down. Add liquid compound fertilizer in half concentration to the watering water 3 to 4 times a month. In winter, when most of the leaves fall off, it is important to avoid wetness, which would rot the base of the plant. Therefore, water your Plumeria little and at greater intervals - but not “not at all”.
