Plumeria rubra 'Elsie' - Frangipani
The flowers of the Plumeria variety 'Elsie' resemble a lollipop with their curved striped pattern of dark pink sections that stand in a very pretty contrast to the white parts. The round, overlapping petals and sweet scent do the rest to make the up to 7.5cm large flowers a candy-sweet treat.
General information on Frangipani (Plumeria):
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”.

Use: from May outside on balcony & terrace, all year round in bright rooms or heated conservatories
