Frangipani (Plumeria Rubra)

Who Doesn't Want To Own a Frangipani Tree?

Frangipanis are small trees that grow to around 5 to 6 metres in height. They provide ample shade, and their root system is contained, making them the perfect tree for your garden. Unlike most trees that only flower for a short time, frangipanis flower from around December to April in Australian climates.

Their easily identifiable flowers have a different colour in the centre from the edges, the most common being the creamy white frangipani flower with a yellow centre. Frangipani flowers have a unique fragrance that complements any home or office garden.

Frangipani plants thrive in a tropical climate, preferring direct sunlight and being able to withstand heat, drought and even neglect! Buy your frangipani plant now.

How To Grow a Frangipani Plant

Oldboy's flowers provide you with frangipani cuttings that can be easily used to grow your own tree. But is it really that easy? Below we have outlined some pro tips you may want to remember when planting your frangipani stem cuttings.

• Water: It is best that you water your frangipani in summer and spring and hold off on winter watering. These plants thrive best in sandy soils that drain well. If you have no suitable soil in your garden, frangipanis also grow well in large pots, given there is adequate drainage.
• Food: Frangipani trees are relatively easy and low-maintenance to grow. While they do not need feeding, occasional fertiliser around the drip line won't hurt.
• Protection: Originating from Mexico, this tree thrives in warmer climates. However, during cold and wet months, it is vulnerable to root tip and branch rot caused by fungus. To prevent this, refrain from watering during winter months and apply an anti-rot product to the leaves.
